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.
