Cerva is a place and a former municipality ( freguesia ) in the Portuguese district ( concelho ) of Ribeira de Pena . 2284 inhabitants live in it (as of June 30, 2011).
In the course of the regional reform of September 29, 2013 , the municipalities of Cerva and Limões were merged to form the new municipality of União das Freguesias de Cerva e Limões . Cerva became the seat of the new administration.
history
A fortified settlement of the Castro culture was from the 2nd century BC. The Romans invaded and expanded. Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus camped here with his army. Finds, including Constantinian coins, prove Roman settlement until the end of their rule. Little is known about the place under the Suebi or from 585 in the Visigothic Empire , nor about its history under the Moors from 711 .
The present place was probably repopulated during the Reconquista . In the royal surveys of 1220 it was already listed as a separate municipality under the name of São Pedro de Cerva . King Manuel I gave Cerva its first town charter in 1514 . It then remained the seat of its own circle. In the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution of 1822 , the district of Ribeira de Pena was first to be dissolved and Cerva incorporated, which was also done in a first step in 1836 , until finally in 1853 the district of Cerva was dissolved and added to the from then on independent district of Ribeira de Pena.
