history

Finds of ramparts ( Portuguese : Castros ) prove a settlement by Celtiberians until the Romans took the area under Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus in the 2nd century BC. After the first granting of city rights ( Foral ) by King Sancho I , the place received renewed city rights by Manuel I in 1514 .

In the 18th century, Mondim de Basto became the seat of a newly formed circle due to its regionally known market, its relatively large number of buildings, and its national reputation as a supplier of leather, shoes and tanning materials.
