Already occupied before the Romans reached the Iberian Peninsula, the village became more prosperous from the moment it was chosen by the royal family. Since King D. Dinis offered it to his wife D. Isabel in the 19th century.
XIII, belonged to the House of the Queens that, throughout the various dynasties, were benefiting and enriching it. It is one of the main reasons to find so many churches in this small town.
