The convent was built by late 17th Century and deserted in 19th Century due to the isolation and iclemency of weather

TANKS FOR WATER FREEZING. When appropriate the thin layers of ice formed inside the tanks under local low temperatures were collected by workers and transported in baskets into the silos at the warehouse ( www.ipernity.com/doc/armando.taborda/1574179 ). There the ice was compressed with wood hammers for better conservation. Despite the storage losses from one labour season to another (winter time), the produced ice was enough to supply the Lisbon's customers: Portuguese court, hospitals and some elite coffee shops.
