Semide is a locality and former municipality in Portugal .
history
The place name probably goes back to the time of the Arabs (8th to 11th centuries) and the Arabic term for fine flour. The place was repopulated in the course of the Reconquista and as a small town ( Vila ) seat of a district. The place grew in particular, since the middle of the 12th century here the monastery Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Semide , also Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora da Assunção was built. In the 16th century it was significantly expanded under the Bishop of Coimbra, and in 1541 the king visited the monastery.
After the dissolution of the church orders and in the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 and the following Miguelistenkrieg, the importance of the place waned. In 1853 the Semide district was dissolved and incorporated as a municipality into the Miranda do Corvo district. In 2013, the municipality of Semide was dissolved in the course of municipal reform in Portugal and merged with Rio Vide to form a new municipality.
