Marcos Pombalinos

Marcos Pombalinos

These are demarcation marks of the Douro fortified wine zone. The Marcos Pombalinos were placed on behalf of the owners of the demarcated land and made in carved stone, with the inscription 'Feitoria'. The number corresponds to its numbering and the year 1758 or 1761 corresponds to the year of its placement.

Description

Some, embedded in walls; many, felled and hidden among old bush; some, serving as beds or barrel sleepers; and others, from door and window sills and lintels, or from sentinels watching over abandoned mortars.

The Pombaline landmarks were made in a parallelepiped format with a smooth finish, with the main side facing the path, in which the designation was inscribed: 'FEITORIA 1761', being classified as properties of public interest by Decree-Law No. 35 909, DG 236 of 17 October 1946.

The first Marco Pombalino was placed on 9 October 1758, 200 meters from the place where, in 1875, the public building of the train station, in the parish of Barqueiros, was to be built.

We can find in the parish of Barqueiros, granitic landmarks no. 5 and no. 6, at Quinta do Piar, no. 7 at Quinta da Manuela and no. 8 at Quinta da Ferreira de Baixo. In the parish of Mesão Frio - Santo André, landmark no. 9 is placed at Quinta das Paredes.
