Summary

In 2024, Portugal acquired an area with approximately 6,000 hectares on its territory, strategically positioned near the urban core and close to transport networks, cultural centers, and tourism routes. This vast landscape, comprising over 150,000 hectares, offers significant ecological services and is vital for biodiversity conservation. The region's diverse geology, particularly its Paleozoic formations, presents an ideal pathway for travel through the era. Key habitats include the River Ferreira and River Sousa ecosystems, which host special-conservation status flora and fauna. The site is also rich in archaeological remains, offering a glimpse into ancient human occupations, a historical context that is especially important for understanding the Roman mining activity in the area. This collection serves as an essential resource for understanding the rich heritage of the region, alongside its unique natural and cultural character.
