Vilarinho is located 16 km northwest of Bragança, within the Montesinho Natural Park. It belongs to the parish of Espinhosela, which includes the villages of Terroso and Cova de Lua. An autonomous parish and a leaseholder of the king in the Inquisitions of 1258, it was taxed by D. Dinis at 70 pounds per year to fund the war against the Moors. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the College of Jesus of Bragança held heritage assets here. Both the main church of São Cipriano, built within the village, and the Chapel of Santo Amaro, located 1 km southeast, on a hill of 819 m, have existed for centuries. The current Chapel is located in an ancient and fortified Iron Age settlement, with attested archaeological remains. It was later Romanized and Christianized. In the mid-16th century, the Temples were in a deplorable state in terms of sustainability and dignity. In 1699, with the facade in ruins and the doors open, it was decided to demolish the Chapel and use and sell materials to renovate the Church.
