Pampilhosa da Serra is a vila (small town) and a district ( concelho ) in Portugal with 1389 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011).
history
The first traces of human settlement can be found here from the end of the second and beginning of the first millennium BC. The current place was first mentioned in 1241 AD. In 1308 King D Dinis elevated the place to a vila and gave it city rights ( Foral ). The place had to give up its status several times against his resistance and was subsequently annexed to Covilhã several times until it was finally declared an independent vila in 1399 by King D. João I.
In 1513 King Manuel I renewed the town charter .
