The population in 2011 was 441,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística )〕 in an area of 31.68 km².〔(Eurostat )〕 ==History== The parish had its beginning in the 13th century, when the area was then referred to as ''Aldeia da Mata'', and recognized for the quantity of wood gathered in the district (''aldeia da mata'' is Portuguese for ''hamlet of the hinterland''). It was also recognized for the land rents obtained from cultivation and harvesting of olive and pine trees.〔 The parochial church, dedicated to Santa Maria Madalena had its origin in the 18th century.〔 A marble cross was located near the two fountains of São João and São José, and later restored in 1850.〔 The construction of the ''Barregem do Castelo do Bode'' (''Castelo do Bode Dam'') in 1951, caused the disappearance of the fields of olive trees which were lost to make way for the new reservoir.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aldeia do Mato」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
