history

Treixedo was first mentioned in 974. It received its first town charter in 1102, in the course of the resettlement efforts after the Reconquista and the destruction and displacement in the area. King Manuel I renewed the town charter in 1514, and Treixedo remained an independent district until it was dissolved and incorporated into the district of Santa Comba Dão in 1836.

Culture and sights

Among its architectural monuments are the church Igreja Matriz de Treixedo (also Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Assunção ) from the early 18th century, the 122-meter long metal railway bridge, and the remains of the pillory ( Pelourinho ) from the 16th century.
