What secrets lie beneath the Portuguese soil? Here, before us, stand the remnants of Casal Romano da Bouça do Ouro. This is not just a vineyard, but a window into the Roman era. Discovered in the 1980s, Casal Romano da Bouça do Ouro whispers tales of a bygone era. This Roman settlement, dating back to the 1st century AD, was once a thriving community. The Romans built two farming buildings on the slopes of the Tamega River. Excavations revealed not just the buildings but also artifacts. These artifacts hinted at their lives – weaving, metalworking, and trade that stretched across the Roman world. Today, Casal Romano da Bouça do Ouro is preserved beneath the very vineyard that now thrives. The unearthed artifacts are housed in the Municipal Museum of Penafiel. They offer a glimpse into the daily lives of those who lived here centuries ago. Though only ruins remain, Casal Romano da Bouça do Ouro serves as a potent reminder. It reminds us of the reach of the Roman Empire and the enduring power of history.
