Fuseta ((:fuˈzetɐ)) is a former civil parish in the municipality of Olhão, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Moncarapacho e Fuseta. The parish occupies an area of approximately and at the 2001 census had a population of 2,146. This parish belonged to the Tavira Municipality until 1876. ==History== Fuseta, dates back to 1572, when it was then referred to as ''Fozeta'', a name that is derived from the diminutive for ''foz'' (referring to ''river mouth''); the ''Rio Tronoco'' disgorges into the sea from this location. Initially, the area was just a collection of small shacks used by fishermen to store tools for their fishing boats. Gradually, it developed into a small settlement. Fuseta first appeared on the books during the Portuguese Age of Discovery, when many of the villages fishermen shipped aboard the caravels to the spice routes and expeditions in the Far East. Gaspar Corte-Real, a nobleman and resident of this area, claimed to have discovered the land now known as Newfoundland in 1500, beginning many of the Portuguese ventures onto the Grand Banks in search of codfish. The oldest religious place of worship in Fuseta, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Carmo (''Our Lady of Carmo'') existed by 1758. As the population grew, the Bishop of the Algarve, D. Francisco Gomes de Avelar, was petitioned to grant the ecumenical independence of the parish, which had previously been included in Moncarapacho. Although Fuseta became its own parish, on 12 March 1874, by Bishop D. André, who indicated the parish would remain a suffragette of Moncarapacho until population levels grow significantly. It was Bishop D. Francisco Gomes, on 22 October 1802, who finally established the new independent parish. By 1790 the settlement included 90 fishermen and six fishing boats, which fished in the waters around Laraxe between April and September. From October to the end of Easter these fishermen would fish around Setúbal, and unloaded in Lisbon. In 1835, the parish was exempted from paying fees to the Diocese, by the Governor of the Bishop, Dr. António de Santo Ilídio da Fonseca e Silva. It was this year that Fonseca and Silva determined the need to construct the parochial church, which was visited in 1898 by King Carlos. It was constructed on an elevated place using the income from maritime compromises in 1825 that separated Fuseta and Tavira. 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「Fuseta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
