Trofa (Águeda)
Trofa is a village and a former municipality ( Freguesia ) in the Portuguese district of Águeda .
history
The place was probably created after the Reconquista and was initially known as Casais de Castrovães. 1449 Trofa was the first town charter by King D.Afonso V . King D. Manuel I renewed the city rights in 1517 , after which a stake was erected in the place as a sign of city rights. In the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 and the subsequent Miguelistenkrieg , the Trofa district was dissolved in 1834 and Águeda was incorporated.
On September 29, 2013, the Freguesias Trofa, Segadães and Lamas do Vouga were merged to form the new Freguesia União das Freguesias de Trofa, Segadães e Lamas do Vouga . Trofa is the seat of this newly formed freguesia.
