Vila Nova do Ceira , sometimes also Vila Nova de Ceira , is a Portuguese municipality in the Centro Região .

history

Since there is little documentation about this remote area after the independence of the Kingdom of Portugal, all we know is that there were already some communities here in the 13th century. Since 1927 the community has been called Vila Nova do Ceira, while before it was called Várzea de Góis , and after the incorporation in the middle of the 18th century, it was also called Várzea de Góis e Chapinheira . Even today the community is popularly called Várzea , after its most important place to this day. The entire area always belonged to the district of Góis.

Culture and sights

In addition to a number of churches, the Centro de Dia de Vila Nova do Ceira complex is also under monument protection. The hospital, built in 1915, was named after its builder, Hospital Monteiro Bastos , before it was used as a leisure home by the Estado Novo regime. Today, only the ground floor is used as a day care home, while the upper floors are waiting for the necessary, already planned restoration to be financed, given the country's deep recession as a result of the banking crisis.
