In the excavations at Sendim

Under Portugal's first king, D.Afonso Henriques , the place probably received its first city rights, but the document has not been preserved. King D. Manuel I renewed the city charter in 1514 .

The previous small town ( Vila ) Felgueiras was elevated to a town ( Cidade ) on July 13, 1990 . At the same time, Lixa and its four municipalities were elevated to town status in the district.
