==History==
It was King Denis who, while travelling through the burg (then known as ''Póvoa d´Álem Sabor'', became enchanted by the local landscape and, in 1286, renamed the district ''Vila Flor''. Around 1295, the King ordered the construction of a walled city, consisting of five gates, to protect the fledgling settlement and guard Portuguese interests in the territory.〔
During the Middle Ages, this ''bouquet of flowers'', as Cabral Adão once called it, became the home to many fleeing Jewish families, who settled in the territory to start farms, businesses of small industry (such as tanneries and jewelers).〔 King Manuel eventually conferred on the settlement an official charter (foral), later to be reformulated in May 1512.〔 An anti-Jewish, Manuel expelled the Jews from the municipality, whose remaining populous or army were then responsible for destroying the remaining homes.〔
