The Castle ( Castelo ) of Redondo

history

The Anta da Candieira and other megalithic systems show prehistoric settlement at least since the Neolithic . Finds from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC BC also show a continued settlement up to the Romans .

It is possible that today's place was re-established as part of the settlement policy after the Reconquista . The town charter of King Alfonso III. from the year 1250 can be interpreted in this way. The town charter was confirmed in 1318 and renewed in 1517 as part of the administrative reforms of King Manuel I.
