Folgarosa Village
In 1307, on the land today considered as Folgarosa, there were already 16 farmers who produced 23 moios (equivalent to 60 bushels) of bread and 2 moios of wine, with which they paid tithes to the Parish of S. Miguel de Torres Vedras. Today, as Mrs Belmira Guilherme adds, ‘one no longer hears the screeching of the animals, nor the shouting of the mothers calling their kids, who amused themselves playing with buttons or spinning tops. But Folgarosa is and will always be the same: a village on the top of a mountain, full of good, friendly people, provided with the north wind and the freshness of the sea, which can be seen in the distance.’
Among Friends… A Torment for the Back
The community of the village of Folgarosa was inspired by the intricate patterns and large size of the island carpet presented by the Museu de Arte Popular de Pombal and created a carpet in urban art, or rather rural art!

Museum-Village Route map
The Museum in the Village Project has transcended geographical boundaries by bringing together museums and villages from 26 different municipalities in Portugal. The map highlights the three participating regions and reveals the route between the museum and the village, where Cultural Heritage acts as a bridge to bring together municipalities, celebrate traditions and enhance territorial cohesion.
