Cinfães is a small town ( Vila ) and a district ( Concelho ) in Portugal with 3395 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011).
history
Megalithic systems and other finds prove a prehistoric settlement of the area. People of the Castro culture and nomads from North Africa, especially Berbers , settled here before the 9th century BC. Celtic Lusitanians arrived here and built fortified Iron Age villages.
From the 2nd century BC The Romans ruling here Romanized the fortified settlements and built bridges and Roman roads . After the Alans , Suebi and Vandals took over the area from the Romans in 409, the Visigoths conquered the present-day district from 456 . Little striking finds have remained from this era. From 711 the Moors conquered the peninsula. In addition to the excavations of oil mills, various place names have remained in the district from this period, such as Boassas or Saímes.
The place experienced its most important period during the Reconquista , as evidenced by a number of sacred buildings , such as the monastery and church of Tarouquela . The first Portuguese king, D. Afonso Henriques, probably spent part of his youth in Santiago de Piães , where he received training from Egas Moniz .
King Manuel I granted Cinfães city rights in 1513 .
