Barril de Alva is a place and a former municipality in central Portugal .
history
The place was officially mentioned for the first time in the registers of the year 1527, where it was documented as a village belonging to Coja Barril with ten households. In 1721 the place already had three church chapels, and the parish priest gave 29 households for Barril in 1727.
The population of the village continued to grow steadily. On November 5, 1894, the music association Sociedade Filarmónica Barrilense was founded here , which in July 1896 already had 24 active musicians in its ranks. The further growth led on July 25, 1924 to the separation from the community Vila Cova de Sob-Avô, which was then renamed Vila Cova de Alva . With the establishment of the independent community Barril, it was given its current name.
With the territorial reform of 2013 , the municipality of Barril de Alva was dissolved again and merged with Coja .
administration
Barril de Alva was the seat of a community of the same name ( Freguesia ) in the district ( concelho ) of Arganil in the Coimbra district . 281 inhabitants lived in the municipality on an area of 3.34 km² (as of June 30, 2011).
The community only consisted of the eponymous place.
In the course of the administrative reorganization on September 29, 2013 Barril de Alva was combined with Coja to form the new municipality União das Freguesias de Côja e Barril de Alva . Coja became the seat of the municipality.
