Dam of the Former Fervença Power Plant, Alcobaça
Highlight • Monument
The Company and its Power Station will have contributed to Alcobaça being one of the places in Portugal that had electricity earlier.
The Companhia Fiação e Veículos de Alcobaça settled in Fervença in 1875. The facilities were located next to the river and the old monks' dam, in order to use the energy of the river as a driving force.
The Electric Power Station, whose building still stands in Fervença, was inaugurated in 1926 so that the Company's factories could start working with this new energy. It was a very modern building for the time and fits in perfectly with the industrial architecture, with its large glass windows that let you see the turbines inside.
The Company, which operated until 1998 under the name COFTA, employed many people from various locations in Alcobaça and is still remembered by many with nostalgia.
