Ramires is a locality and former municipality in Portugal .
history
Finds from the Castro culture prove a prehistoric settlement. There was probably a Visigoth settlement here that was conquered by the Moors . The current town was probably created with the settlement policy in the course of the Reconquista . Ramires was a parish in Ferreiros de Tendais for a long time , until it was dissolved in 1855. Since then it has belonged to Cinfães.
In the course of the territorial reform in 2013, the municipality was dissolved and merged with Alhões , Gralheira and Bustelo to form a new municipality. The residents of Ramires had previously fought unsuccessfully for the merger to take place instead with the nearby and sufficiently well-equipped Oliveira do Douro . The seat of the new municipality was Alhões, while the municipality in Ramires remained as a citizens' office.
