Pombal com painéis de azulejos de figuras importantes na época ( os donos das minas, os "ingleses", como eram conhecidos ), pombal este que servia para albergar os pombos que faziam a comunicação entre as Minas e o porto do Pomarão para controlarem o tráfego dos comboios que traziam o minério e a chegada dos barcos ingleses. Nas fotos em baixo pode-se ver o Pombal e um pormenor dos painéis de azulejos onde figura o principal dono das minas Jonh Laurence. Para saber mais sobre a história das minas visite a povoação de Minas de S.
