Vilarinho da Furna (the villagers and those in the region called it Vilarinho da Furna, some historians and the dam builders used the plural form ''Vilarinho das Furnas''〔Manuel de Azevedo Antunes, Vilarinho da Furna, Memórias do Passado e do Futuro, Lisboa, 2ª Edição, CEPAD, ULHT, 2005〕) is a village that was submerged in 1972 by the filling of the reservoir with the same name. It is located on the River Homem up to Ribeira do Eido, in the municipality of Terras de Bouro in the Braga district, in the Minho region of northern Portugal. In a legal twist, the submerged land is still in the hands of the former villagers, but the use of the dam belongs to the Portuguese state. At times when the level of the reservoir falls, the village emerges; these occurrences often attract tourists. The village is known for its community style of life, which may have its roots in the time of the Visigoths.〔Joel Cleto and Suzana Faro, (Nos 30 anos do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês. A Memória de Vilarinho das Furnas. ) O Comércio do Porto. Revista Domingo, Porto, 29 April 2001, p. 20-22.〕〔Manuel de Azevedo Antunes, (A Barragem de Vilarinho da Furna ), Arraianos IV October 2005〕 ==History up until c. 1800== Oral tradition has it that the village was founded c. 70,〔 at the time that the nearby Roman road (Via Nova XVIII) was developed. According to the tradition, seven men settled down at the site of present-day Portela do Campo. After a dispute among them, four decided to settle downstream of Rio Homem, establishing what is now Vilarinho da Furna. There is no proof of this, though there are still Roman remains: two roads approaching from south of the village and three Roman bridges, one inside the village over Ribeira do Eido, one upstream (Ponte Nova), and one downstream (Ponte do Couço), as well as many others in the region.〔Manuel de Azevedo Antunes, Vilarinho da Furna, uma aldeia afundada, 1985, Regra do Jogo (Lisboa)〕 Little is known about the village since Roman times. The first written reference is from a 1623 book on baptisms. (Livro Misto numéro 1 dos Baptismos, Casamentos e Óbitos, S. João do Campo).〔 A German travelling in Portugal in the final years of the 18th century visited Vilarinho da Furna. He noted that the houses were as simple as those of any other peasants in the region. However, his large host family lived comfortably; in contrast to many other places, they had no shortage of food, and their beds were clean and made up with white linen. He suggested that many German peasants would envy how well-off they were (Link, 1803 mentioned in Cleto, 2001).〔 Several versions of the village's name exist: Vilarinho da Furna, Vilarinho das Furnas, Vilarinho, Villarinho, Vilarinho de Furmas, VIllarinho da Furna and Villarinho das Furnas. The villagers and residents of nearby villages generally know it as Vilarinho da Furna. "Das Furnas" is probably a reference to the rock cavities found near the spring of Rio de Furnas.〔Manuel de Azevedo Antunes, Vilarinho da Furna - Memórias do passado e do futuro, 2Ed, CEPAD/ULHT, Lisbon, 2005〕 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「Vilarinho da Furna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
