Barrancos

Border hills and Noudar Castle

Barrancos finds a distinctive expression of its border landscape around Noudar.

A fortress above the valleys

The steep slopes around Noudar explain the castle’s defensive position and the separation between the fortified enclosure and the watercourses in the valleys below.

Oak woodland and rural uses

At Monte da Coitadinha, the old threshing floor and the oak landscape reveal the role of farming in the arrangement of this rural part of Barrancos.

From local context to your project

The features described above help guide the first conversation. Depending on the property and its location, these details are useful to gather:

  • If the ground slopes, have the levels of the street, entrance and existing buildings been recorded?
  • If you plan to alter an existing building, which plans, photographs of its current condition and records of earlier works are available?
