history
The famous Mateus Palace in the municipality of Mateus
|
The place was possibly created in the course of the settlement policy after the Reconquista . A village was first mentioned here in 1208.
Mateus remained a small, insignificant community in the Vila Real district until the 16th century. Sustained agricultural development began when in 1620 António Alvares Coelho began expanding the local estate and built a chapel. In 1641 the area fell to the Crown. Today's parish church was built from 1711 and was probably completed for the first time in 1715.
Around 1743, the manor house underwent a significant expansion by the architect Nicolau Nasoni , through whom the now-known Mateus Palace was created. There were also other estates in the municipality, including the Casa das Panquecas, the Casa das Quartas, the Casa da Paçoca and the Casa de Urros. Around 1810 the band Banda de Música de Mateus was founded, which still exists today and with its music school has remained an important cultural factor in the community.
