History

Casa do Celeiro was originally a stable and grain store belonging to a quinta (manor farm) in Pe da Serra, Colares which was built in the mid 17th century. It is set high on a hill above the quinta and consists of a courtyard dug out of a hill enclosed on 4 sides. Two sides form massive buttressed retaining walls and the other two sides had a two-storey barn facing northwest and a one-storey building divided into 3 spaces facing southwest. The southwest wing housed animals and farm workers.
