Aldeia do Boco
Aldeia do Boco is a settlement in the parish of Soza in Vagos, Portugal. Its village chapel is dedicated to Santo Inácio. Along the valley, water channels served mills including Azenha da Ti Luísa, where the mill wheel and miller’s house survive.
Aldeia do Boco — from the chapel to the mills
The chapel square gives a starting point for reading Boco. Lower in the valley, the mill sites show how the village made use of running water.
At Azenha da Ti Luísa, the vertical wheel, millstones and adjacent miller’s house make the work of milling tangible. Following the relation between water channel and mill helps explain why these buildings sit below the village.
