history
Finds and excavations prove a prehistoric settlement of the district area. The current circle was only created in the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 and the subsequent Miguelistenkrieg . It emerged in 1836 from the amalgamation of the previously independent circles Oliveira do Conde and Currelos .
Culture and sights
The architectural monuments include mansions , stone fountains, historical public buildings and a variety of sacred buildings , including the Gothic Igreja Matriz de Oliveira do Conde (also Igreja de São Pedro ). The historic town center as a whole is also a listed building.
The listed house of Aristides de Sousa Mendes is located in the municipality of Cabanas de Viriato and is to be converted into a memorial center for him. As a diplomat in France, he enabled tens of thousands to flee National Socialism , contrary to the instructions of his government, the Salazar regime.
In Fiais da Telha , a village in the municipality of Oliveira do Conde , you can visit a well-preserved dolmen , the Dólmen da Orca .
