Sardoal is a small town ( Vila ) and a district ( Concelho ) in Portugal with 2404 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011).
history
A Roman road led through what is now the district area. Sardoal was first officially mentioned in 1313 when it received its city charter ( Foral ) from Queen Elizabeth of Portugal , the Rainha Santa Isabel ( Portuguese for: Holy Queen Isabel). In 1531 King João I elevated Sardoal to vila (small town with extended administrative rights), and in the following year it became an independent district of Abrantes .
Around the time of the Portuguese voyages of discovery at the beginning of the 16th century, the place experienced a heyday. The local facilities of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia charity were opened in 1509 , the seven oil paintings by the Master of Sardoal (Portuguese: Mestre de Sardoal) were created in 1510 , the Igreja da Misericórdia church was consecrated in 1551 , and some of the town's residents took part participated in various voyages of discovery through time.
Sardoal suffered looting and some destruction by French forces during the Napoleonic invasions in the early 19th century.
Culture and sights
The architectural monuments of Sardinia include various historical residential houses, stone fountains, public buildings and sacred buildings , including the Convento de Nossa Senhora da Caridade, which dates back to a hospital dating back to 1400 and was built in the 16th century, with its mannerist monastery church ( Igreja do Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora da Caridade ), which already shows baroque features in its furnishings such as azulejos and altarpieces .
In the church Igreja de São Tiago e de São Mateus (Portuguese for: Church of St. Jacobus and St. Matthew) there are seven panel paintings by the still unknown master of Sardoal from the beginning of the 16th century .
