History

Located between the Sabor River and the Serra do Reboredo, Larinho is located in the Sabor valley. With a typically traditional rural center, given its proximity to Torre de Moncorvo, it became a focus of population attraction from the 1890s onwards.[3] It is home to the municipality's industrial complex, as well as the Carmelo de Torre de Moncorvo [pt], a convent of the Carmelite Order,[4][5] as well as part of the now closed Sabor Line,[6][7] having its own stop, the Larinho halt.

In addition to the imposing monument that is the Mother Church, dating back to the 18th century, the remains of the old chapel of Santa Luzia, with its 16th century mural painting, the chapels of Santo António (the old parish church), Santa Bárbara, Senhor dos Aflitos (19th century) and Nossa Senhora de Fátima should be highlighted. Of particular interest is the Ferrada fountain, the medieval bridge on the Castelhanos road, the mills of Ribeiro das Lajes and the notable traditional granite buildings that greatly enrich the village.[3]
