history
Rock engravings prove a prehistoric settlement, before the arrival of the Romans . The present-day place was probably built after the Reconquista , as part of the settlement policy of the order of knights of Avis , to whom the lands had been assigned and who are said to have maintained a small monastery here. In addition, D. Urraca Fernandes, daughter of the first Portuguese king D. Afonso Henriques , is said to have owned property here, which is said to include a ruined house in today's place.
In the 14th century Carragozela became an independent municipality.
