Nested around the church, Turquel was in the middle ages a small town, loosing importance and dimension in the last centuries, until becoming a village. After the revolution of 1974, Turquel started growing again, recovering the status of "vila", which means small town, and reaching a balance that mixes the resources of towns with the quiet and healthy rural life.

|  | The pillory For centuries the symbol of justice and authority was the pillory, that most cities preserve as references from their past. Turquel is no exception, and in the central place the pillory stands in evidence as our main monument |
Although rocky, Turquel is fertile. Sheltered by the shadows of laurels, a path descends to "Fonte da Vila" and its pleasant valley. |  | |
