history
The megalithic complex of Anta do Pinheiro dos Abraços and the Roman ruins in the village are evidence of a millennia-old settlement of the place. The place received city rights ( Foral ) for the first time in 1256 by King D.Afonso III. which were renewed in 1513 by King Manuel I. Until the administrative reform in 1836, Bobadela was the seat of its own district, and since then has been a parish of the Oliveira do Hospital district.
Culture and sights
Various public buildings, including the primary school, and some sacred buildings are listed, including the parish church Igreja Paroquial de Bobadela (also Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça e Cruzeiro ), which was built as a simple chapel in the 16th century and then expanded several times. There are also a number of Roman ruins in the place, and in front of the place are a Roman bridge and the megalithic complex Anta do Pinheiro dos Abraços .
