in Geographical Education

In Geography class, under the project “Nós Propomos!”, the group showed interest in working

on the subject of the abandoned Hotel of Foz da Sertã. After an investigation we found out that the

Hotel was built in 1951, being one of the most glamorous and luxurious Hotels of the region. Attached

to the Hotel there was a very famous water source whose first exploration goes back to 1894. The

Hotel shut down for unknown reasons in 1974 and has been abandoned ever since.
