Piódão is a historic mountain village located in central Portugal, in the Serra do Açor mountain range. Known as one of Portugal's schist villages, it is characterized by its distinctive architecture where houses are built from local schist stone with slate roofs, creating a harmonious appearance that has earned it the nickname "presépio" (nativity scene). The village's unique layout, with narrow cobblestone streets winding between closely packed houses, reflects its medieval origins and adaptation to the steep mountainous terrain.
Dating back to the Middle Ages, Piódão served as a remote shelter for those seeking refuge, including Jewish communities during the Portuguese Inquisition. Today, the village maintains its traditional character while serving as a living museum of Portuguese rural architecture and cultural heritage. The village's cultural significance was recognized when it was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1978.
