The road to Póvoa de Góis winds up and over a small hill before winding down to a picturesque village. The little chapel of São Sebastião sits at the centre of  Póvoa de Góis, its bell-tower extended to incorporate two clock faces: an indication that the villagers were employed and not left to their own time-keeping. There is a local story that says that a neighbouring village coveted São Sebastião and tried to capture him (how and when the saint was incarnated is not clear!) However he ran away and hid himself in the brambles. This is the place where the chapel was built.

The buildings around the village, that have not been rendered and painted, show red terracotta bricks being used in their construction, along with the local round stones. This is unique in the Góis region. In the 19th century there was an ambitious plan to construct a train line from Coimbra to Arganil. Work started along the line, that included a tunnel from Bordeiro, under the hill to Póvoa de Góis. Construction of the tunnel started, and the villagers of  Póvoa de Góis were employed at a factory at the top of the village, to produce bricks for the lining of the tunnel. Because of financial and technical difficulties at the gorge of Candosa, the line was terminated at Serpins. The villagers, no longer employed at the brickyard, took advantage of the surplus building materials, and this is why many of the buildings display red bricks in their walls.
One of the elderly inhabitants of  Póvoa de Góis recollects her grandmother telling her about the mill in the village, thought to have been abandoned 150 years ago. The village has a tradition that the olive harvest was collected by the press owner at Regateira and transported by ox-cart. The inhabitants traditionally made their living from agriculture, and some also worked in the mines of Liboreiro. There is now a tavern and a blacksmith in the village.
