Interior of a traditional dovecote
Keeping heritage alive.
TDIC
Traditional Dovecote Interpretation Center
The omnipresence of traditional dovecote is obvious to those who travel the landscape of Trás-os-Montes: Why do they have different shapes? What are they for? Why is it that many of them are far from everything? The Traditional Dovecote Interpretation Center (TDIC) answers these questions and raises many more that will further arouse interest in this unique rural heritage.

Dovecotes in Uva
Having many was synonymous of wealth.
The Traditional Dovecote Interpretation Centre was created in 2014 with the aim of promoting and increasing knowledge about traditional dovecotes in the Northeast of Trás-os-Montes. It is a starting point for discovering these buildings and their cultural, architectural and ecological value.
A visit to the centre includes a tour through the village of Uva, which has more than 40 traditional dovecotes, so that you can see and experience them up close. Walk along paths and alleys, discover the natural and cultural wealth of the area and listen to the voices of the inhabitants who preserve the memories of the dovecotes.
