Fundão, an important town in the region for commercial and industrial reasons, has fine churches and splendid mansions and stately houses, namely from the 17th and 18th centuries, when it knew great prosperity due to the tin mines and a thriving textile industry.
Most of the county of Fundão lies in a geographical valley known as "Cova da Beira" (Beira Hollow), between the Estrela and Gardunha mountains and crossed by the river Zêzere.The region is fertile, with abundant springs and covered with orchards and chestnut-tree groves.
