Description
About 5 kilometres from Torres Novas, within the boundaries of the parish of Santa Maria, is Quinta do Carril or Casal do Carril as it was called in the 18th century.
On 19 January 1753, a chapel was built in Casal do Carril or Quinta do Carril, which still exists there. It was administered by the friars of S. Filipe de Neri de Lisboa and is now owned by the Santa Casa da Misericordia de Torres Novas.
After the extinction of the religious orders in 1834, Quinta do Carril or Casal do Carril as it had been called, was acquired by General Antonio Cesar de Vasconcelos Correia, who was given the title of Viscount of Carril by the Portuguese Crown and later 1st Count of Torres Novas.
The rustic part known as Quinta do Carril has around 16 hectares and is located next to the public road known as Estrada do Carril, with a century-old building in ruins with a total urban area of 1.144 sqm, including a ground floor and first floor house, outbuildings and patio, as well as the current possibility of building around 7.000 sqm, included in the current Municipal Master Plan.
It's an airy hill with excellent farmland, great sun exposure, excellent access, electricity, a borehole with a pump, three wells with plenty of water, one of them with a century-old daughter-in-law, and a recently restored rural building of around 160 m2 for agricultural support.
Quinta do Carril has excellent access roads, being located around 3 km from the A23 motorway with A1 access, as well as the Torres Novas shopping centre and the Continente department store; it is around 105 km from Lisbon, 45 km from Santarem, 25 km from the town of Fatima and 9 km from Golega, 5 km from the railway station.
