Belver is a former civil parish in the municipality of Carrazeda de Ansiães, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Belver e Mogo de Malta. It is situated two kilometres northeast from the municipal seat. ==History== There are few ancient references to the parishes history, but those uncovered suggest that the area was settled in the 12th century. The term ''Belver'' is a contraction of ''Bel(lo) Ver'', which means ''beautiful sight'', and may likely refer to the region's panoramic vistas.〔 The settlement of Mogo de Ansiães, along an extensive plateau, near the parish seat is a mark of demarcation (''mogo'' means ''mark'') that delimited the parish seat.〔 The historical limits of Carrazeda de Ansiães (and the neighbouring municipality of Freixiel) precisely divided along the space between Mogo de Ansiãse and Mogo de Malta. It is likely that a mark (a ''mogo'') divided the two places, thusby deriving their names.〔 The church was constructed in the 16th century, and by 1706 (from the writings of Father Carvalho da Costa), it was under the authority of the Rector of Ansiães. The settlement, which included 50 neighbours, was under the protection of the ''Comenda do Salvador''. Between 1864-65, Belver had 137 homes and 475 inhabitants.〔 On 15 July 1903, the first primary school for boys was established in Belver.〔 It was in 1950 that the population reached its historical maximum: 549 inhabitants.〔 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「Belver (Carrazeda de Ansiães)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
