Highlights of the 8 km-long circuit are the Romanesque Church of Rates, the bell-tower of the former monastery, the Praça, the rural architecture using shale as a construction material, the local section of the way of Saint James, the countryside landscape, windmills, watermills and the linen, bread and wine-making cultures. The ecomuseum includes maps and plates with information in Portuguese and English. ==History== The ecomuseum opened on April 21, 2007. Works started on eight stops (''estações''), for the first fase. Two more stops: ''Casa do Trabalhador Rural'' and ''Parque Ambiental'' were postponed for later development.〔(São Pedro de Rates testemunha o seu passado agrícola – Inauguração do ECOMUSEU, Sábado, 21 de Abril, às 15h00 ) - CMPV〕 The project was financed by the City Hall of Póvoa de Varzim with the support of the national government's Agris program on rural development, officially known as ''Programa Operacional Regional - Medida Agricultura e Desenvolvimento Rural''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rates Ecomuseum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
