Paredes de Coura Municipality


Aquilino, the House and the Breath of God is a documentary about the Casa Grande de Romarigães (Big House of Romarigães), an emblematic manor house in the lands of Paredes de Coura in North Portugal´s Alto Minho region,that after undergoing works of restoration, was formally open on the 30th of July 2023, making way for a house-museum.
The manor house gave rise to the work with the same title by the writer Aquilino Ribeiro, considered one of the greatest works of Portuguese literature. in addition to having the restoration process as its motto, the film also intends to reflect on the literary work itself, the author and the territory from which it emerges.

The documentary is scheduled to be concluded by 2024 and to be broadcasted on RTP television on a date to be announced.
