High in serra of Montejunto, the site where, before the refrigerators were invented, ice was manufactured, stored and then distributed to the royal family and rich people in the capital Lisbon.

Long before there was electricity, this place was supplying ice to the Portuguese nobility. Now its a museum high up in the mountains!

A Real Fábrica do Gelo é uma obra de engenharia brilhante que merece ser descoberta.

A melhor maneira de começar a conhecer a Serra do Montejunto. Aqui era feito o gelo que na Monarquia seguia para a Casa Real em carroças, coberto de palha e sal para não derreter na viagem de dias até Lisboa. Suba depois até ao cume da serra e conheça a ermida.
