Malhada Sorda, a name evoking ancient sheepfolds and shepherds' huts, was born from the transhumance of cattle across the border.

In the heart of the village stands the Church of São Miguel, dating from the late 16th century, flanked by a bell tower that once served as a prison and whose bells still echo manually during processions.

Another landmark is the so-called Esnoga or Clock House, a recently restored 17th-century building, which popular tradition suggests may have been a secret synagogue.
