history
The fertile valley ( Portuguese : Vale ) has been a human settlement area since prehistoric times. The first officially documented mention comes from a deed of donation from King Ordonho II from the year 922. Over the years, the district has had different names, such as Caymbra , Santa Maria de Caymbra , Câmara do Bispo de Coimbra , Cambra and finally Macieira de Cambra . It belonged to the diocese of Mérida , and came to the diocese of Coimbra after 1139 as part of the consolidation of the independent kingdom of Portugal .
In 1514 Macieira de Cambra city rights (received Foral ) by King Manuel I . In 1926, the Macieira de Cambra district became part of the newly created Vale de Cambra district , which had its seat in Gandra in the municipality of Vila Chã . In 1993 the previous Vila (small town) was elevated to a city ( Cidade ), while at the same time the local parishes Macieira de Cambra and São Pedro de Castelões became Vilas .
