Address
Caminho natural entre Folgosinho e Videmonte (a cerca de 500m, antes de uma rocha chamada Cabeça do Faraó), Folgosinho, Gouveia.
The Pharaoh's Swing, next to the Forest Road, connecting Folgosinho to Videmonte, about 250 meters from the Geodetic Vertex of Galhardos.
The head of the pharaoh is a medium-grained granite outcrop of two mica, dubbed Mesquitela Granite, which takes the profile of a human head, resembling the head of a pharaoh.
It is a natural form and results from the typical alteration and erosion of granites.
