Sopo is a civil parish in the municipality of Vila Nova de Cerveira in the Portuguese northern district of Viana do Castelo. The population in 2011 was 557,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) ), Census 2011 results according to the 2013 administrative division of Portugal〕 in an area of 14.82 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 ==History== References from 1258 identify the existence of several churches situated between the Lima and Minho Rivers, and that one of these churches, named ''Zopo'', belonged to the Bishop of Tui.〔(Portuguese National Archive, Torre do Tombo (Portuguese) )〕 By the beginning of the 16th century, the parish of Sopo was part of the Archdiocese of Braga and belonged to the municipality of Caminha; comparably, Sopo was part of this municipality by 1546. A 1580 census completed by friar Baltasar Limpo, in order to determine the condition of the deaconship, referred to the parish of ''Santiago de Sopo'' within the comarca of Caminha, an area that was divided between the clergy of the archbishop and other lay clergy. Archbishop D. Diogo de Sousa confirmed a donation to Sopo, completed by several people to the Marquis of Vila Real. The Marquis, later, transferred the patronage of Sopo to his son, the Duke of Caminha, who was, along with his father, implicated in the conspiracy against John IV. By 1839, Sopo was part of the municipality of Monção, and later (1859), in the municipality of Valença. It was annexed to the municipality of Caminha by decree on 12 July 1895. Sopo became a part of the Diocese of Viana do Castelo after 3 November 3, 1977. Eventually Sopo was integrated into the municipality of Vila Nova de Cerveira on 13 January 1989. 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「Sopo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
