Linhares da Beira is steeped in centuries of history. Founded, apparently, in the 6th century BC by the Turduli, it saw the passage of the Lusitanians, Romans, and Visigoths, who made it the seat of their diocese. It was the scene of Moorish legends, recovered by the kings of León and later by Afonso Henriques, who granted it a charter in 1169 and integrated it into the region's defensive line.

Over time, it welcomed Jews, resisted invasions, and lost its municipality in 1842, but never its soul. Today, it is proud to be one of the 12 Historic Villages of Portugal, where every stone tells a piece of the past.
