history

The Penegate Tower from the 14th century

The most important finds in the district come from the Castro culture , in particular the Citânia de São Julião de Caldelas in the municipality of Ponte. The Romans conquered the area in the 2nd century BC. And set up a civitas here .

The present place of Vila Verde already existed in the 10th century. In the 11th century, the area belonged to Countess Mumadona, who sold it to the Igreja de Santo António church with a document from 1089 . In the 14th century the place received new fortifications. The Penegate tower has been preserved.

In the course of the various administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 and the subsequent Miguelistenkrieg , the independent district of Vila Verde was founded on October 24, 1855 , after the Pico de Regalados, Vila Chã e Larim, Penal and Prado districts were dissolved.
