history
Finds from the 8th century BC BC document a settlement at least since the Bronze Age . The finds of axes and ceramics from the late 2nd to early 1st century BC are also significant. According to a Portuguese history book from 1882, today's place was founded by a Roman landlord named Elio Faya or Saya. The starting point for this assumption is an inscription that can be found on an old stone, which was then found as the third step of the staircase of the Santa Maria de Vêatodos chapel .
In the royal surveys of 1220, the community is listed as Sancta Maria de Beatodos . From the middle of the 14th century until 1836 Viatodos belonged to the Fralães district.
