history

Dolmen of Anta de Pendilhe

The Anta de Pendilhe and other megalithic sites are evidence of prehistoric settlement. Later rock graves show the existence of the current village since the 7th century AD. At least since the 11th century AD there was an independent community here. The place was called Vila de Barrelas and belonged to the Fráguas district until it became the seat of the district in 1883 . In the course of this, both the district and the place received their current name, with reference to the location on the Paiva , a river that flows into the Douro at Castelo de Paiva .
