"Capital of the Olive Oil, in the heart of the Terra Quente Transmontana, in the South of Bragança District, Vila Flor has about 7 thousand inhabitants, spread over 14 parishes, in a total area of 272 Km2. D. Dinis, Poet King, when he passed through this town, until then called "Póvoa d'Álem Sabor", was enchanted and surrendered to the beauty of the landscape and, in 1286, lovingly renamed it "Vila Flor". Around 1295, D. Dinis orders to build around it, as a way of protection, a belt of walls with 5 doors or arches. The Arch of D. Dinis remains, a monument of public interest.The Middle Ages of this "bouquet of cravelinas and bem-me-queres," as Cabral Adão called it, is flourishing, receiving special impetus with the reception of Jewish families fleeing European persecution and that were developing agriculture, trade and industries of tanning and goldsmithery. D. Manuel I later attributed a new charter to Vila Flor, reformulating the previous one, in May 1512, which can be seen in the Museu Municipal D.ra Berta Cabral. Anti-Jewish in nature, the policy of D. Manuel I meant the expulsion of Jews from the municipality, but ruins of houses and cobblestones can still be seen on Ruas Nova, Saco and Portela, the legacy of this remote period.Rich in history, traditions, monuments and people, the Municipality is also a reference for the excellent quality of its agricultural products that come from the fertile Vilariça Valley. Companies such as Frize and Sousacamp, known inside and outside the Portuguese borders, are also part of the patrimony of this land. Famous in the art of hospitality, Vila Flor's accommodations include hotels, agro-tourism and rural tourism. In the summer, this "burgo alpestre" is sought by hundreds of tourists from various corners of the country and abroad, for the lush green wealth of its Camping Park." Source: Vila Flor City Council
