It didn't have a single opening: windows and doors were false and the roof too, and it was said that the bizarre construction lasted a few centuries without anyone making use of it.<br /><br /> The garden in our legend belonged to a poor family that owned nothing else and lived in hovels, surviving with great difficulty, resorting to cultivating the land.<br /><br /> When the family moved there, a strange Moor began to appear to the woman whenever no one was around, beckoning her to come closer.<br /><br /> Frightened, she ran away, however the Moor always followed her home.<br /><br />One day, tired and extremely scared, the woman decided to tell her husband everything. He, a smart man, remembered other reports he had already heard and realized immediately that it was an enchanted Moor, in search of help.<br /><br />In this way, he convinced his wife to listen to him. The woman did so. When the Moor approached her, she asked what he wanted and the Moor calmly explained that he had been enchanted for a long time, waiting for someone to help him.<br />Moreover, he also mentioned that whoever disenchanted him would receive a treasure in gold and precious stones.<br /><br /> Euphoric, the woman wanted to know how she could help him, and the Moor asked for the construction of a building with doors and windows that could not be opened and a roof without tiles. Then, he went on, this is how the building should remain for a hundred years, without anyone making use of it.<br /><br />Disheartened, the woman returned home, telling her husband everything. In fact, they had no money for anything, not to mention the fact that they would be mocked by the neighbors.<br /><br /> Despite this, the husband did not hesitate:<br />- Let's go woman! We will work hard to build this building, putting in whatever it takes!<br /><br /> So they did. After a long time of sacrifice, the building was ready and one day, the Moor appeared to the woman again. Then, lifting a huge slab from the ground and which she had never noticed, he revealed a treasure trove full of gold and jewels.<br />True to his word, he handed it to the woman, kissing her goodbye.<br /><br /> However, the kiss was not innocent. It was a fiery kiss that soon burned her throat in such a way that she was no longer able to ingest solid food. After months of atrocious suffering, she stopped fighting. She closed her eyes and died...<br /><br />Husband and children mourned her death, but time played its role, relieving the pain until they forgot it, becoming rich and happy.<br /><br /> As for the building, it remained intact and strange, more than a hundred years according to what they say, since in fact its owners did not want to run the risk of seeing their fortune evaporate.<br /><br />Portal Nacional dos Municípios e Freguesias <br />Energy Rating: Exempt <br />#ref:PBI-1295
