Cividade Hill (Portuguese: ''Monte da Cividade'') or Cividade de Terroso Hill with an elevation of is one of the two hills next to the city of Póvoa de Varzim in Portugal. Cividade Hill's most notable feature is Cividade de Terroso in the hilltop. It is an ancient Castro culture town, hence the name of the hill that derives from Latin ''civitas'' (city). The walled city thrived since 900 or 800 BC, before being conquered and destroyed by the Roman Republic around 138 BC. Due to its urban protohistoric characteristics, the hilltop is considered to be an acropolis by archaeologists. The acropolis is, currently, owned by Póvoa de Varzim City Hall. In the slope there are villages and walled labyrinth-like farm-fields. ==Geography== Cividade hill is located in the parish of Terroso, just east of the city. The hill, along with São Félix, was used in the Middle Ages as the boundary of Varzim: ''Verazim ... subtus mons civitas Terroso discurrentes aquas ad mare, territorio Brachara'' (June 25, 1202).〔(Estudos de Cronologia: Os mais antigos documentos escritos em português - Instituto Camões )〕 The expression "subtus mons" is typical on the Portuguese medieval documents and, as it was proved by Ferreira de Almeida, it is not just a topographic dependency, but, especially, an administrative and military dependency. Cividade, with São Félix Hill, extends from the small Serra de Rates mountain range. It is the second highest hill in Póvoa de Varzim, after São Félix Hill.〔
