The municipality of Alijó will invest 2.45 million euros in the rehabilitation and reconversion of the former Parish Residence of Sanfins do Douro, where the future Interpretive Center "Religion and Society: From Father Manuel da Nóbrega to 'The Holy Miller' Sebastião Maria" will be installed. The contract was signed on August 4, 2026 and published on the BASE Portal, with an execution period of 609 days.
The project arose following a public tender to which eight proposals were submitted. José Paredes, mayor of Alijó, highlighted that the intervention will allow the recovery of a historic 18th-century building and give it a new function.
According to José Paredes, the intervention includes the rehabilitation of the building and its respective museography, allowing the recovery of an emblematic property and giving it new life in service of the community, culture and tourism.
