Mulher Morta ("Dead Woman") paved road

data access 88245

The paved roads located next to Fonte dos Cavalos and Mulher Morta appear to be medieval, but may have originated in Roman times. 
These two paved roads, about 2 meters wide, are built with limestone and some pebbles and have wedge stones, delimiting the verges and the central axis of the road.

 

In 2016 in the crossroad of "Mulher Morta" it was excaveted another area of paved road, and after the conclusion of the works, protected with another layer of new cobblestone road (suitable for modern vehicles)
