Fornos ((:ˈfɔɾnuʃ)) is a former civil parish in the municipality of Freixo de Espada à Cinta, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Lagoaça e Fornos. It is located 17 kilometres south of the municipal seat, in the northeast of Portugal. In 2001 its population was less than 418 inhabitants, in an area of 28.67 km² bordering the Spanish border along the Douro River. ==History== Early references to the parish refer to the existence of ancient kilns used in the production of ceramic pottery.〔António Pimenta de Castro (2002)〕 The land was probably inhabited before record-keeping was begun, and is substantiated by the discovery of a granite-sculpted pig (likely a wild boar) that was discovered by abbot Tavares in Escouradal.〔 This was during a period when an ecclesiastical vicarage under the authority of the archpriest ''ad nutum'' from the religious college in Freixo de Espada à Cinta governed the lands in this region.〔 In 1644, during the Portuguese Restoration War, it was looted by the Spanish army, along with the neighbouring parish of Lagoaça.〔 Between 26 June 1896 and 13 January 1898, Fornos was incorporated into the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo, along with the municipality of Freixo de Espada à Cinta.〔 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「Fornos (Freixo de Espada à Cinta)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
