Arcozelo is a freguesia in the municipality (''concelho'') of Vila Nova de Gaia. The population in 2011 was 14,352,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) ), Census 2011 results according to the 2013 administrative division of Portugal〕 in an area of 8.50 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 ==History== Arcozelo's name derives from the Latin words ''arcoze'' or ''arcu celus'', both meaning ''small arch'', from the period of the first century. The parish was a construct of four settlements, Arcozelo, Enxomil, Mira and Vila Chã, which initially went by the name of Santa Maria de Arcozelo, and only much later adopted the name São Miguel de Arcozelo. Arcozelo is a progressive parish of the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia, losing many of its origins over time; it is assumed that in 1113, before the founding of the nation, there were references to a settlement of ''Arcuzello''.〔 It was Manuel I of Portugal that first issued a foral (''charter''), on 20 January 1518, from records in the ''Forais Novos da Estremadura''.〔 The village of Arcozelo was elevated to the status of town on 1 February 1988.〔 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「Arcozelo (Vila Nova de Gaia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
