Nabão River
The Nabão (Portuguese pronunciation: [nɐˈbɐ̃w̃]) is a river in Portugal. It rises in Ansião and passes through the city of Tomar before joining the Zêzere River — a course of about 66 kilometres (41 mi). It was known to the Romans as Nabanus. Before entering the territory of Tomar it has his biggest source in a place called Agroal. The swift waters of the Nabão once fed the factories of Tomar.[1]
The river is associated with the legend of Santa Iria (Saint Irene).
New Plans for Nabão
The Nabão will see numerous changes in Tomar, as a major gentrification plan is under way, which will include construction of new road and foot bridges, promenades and gardens.[1]
