Fajão is nestled between the Serras del Açor and de la Lousã, and stands out for its unique architecture, made mainly of schist (xisto), the local stone that gives it a dark color and a characteristic appearance, making it one of the famous "schist villages" of the region.
Fajão also has a parish museum that exhibits sacred art and objects of daily life, and boasts a history linked to the Resistance during the Salazarist regime.
