Tabuaço is a small town ( Vila ) and a district ( Concelho ) in Portugal with 1782 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011). It belongs to the Alto Douro wine region . In 1756 this was the first protected wine region in the world and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2001 .
history
Excavations prove the prehistoric settlement. Some religious finds and the remains of a Roman road have been preserved here from the time of the Romans . In the course of the Reconquista , the place was repopulated. In 1320 the place was already an independent municipality as Tavuaço . In the 16th century it received city rights and became the seat of an independent district, which was considerably enlarged in the course of the administrative reforms of 1836–1855.
Culture and sights
The monuments of the district include a number of historical public buildings, estates and mansions , stone fountains and a variety of sacred buildings , including the São Pedro das Águias Monastery . The historic town center as a whole is also a listed building.

The Museu do Imaginário Duriense (MIDU), opened in 2009, is the first of eleven planned museums dedicated to the history, traditions and myths of the Douro region .
