Mata de Lobos, mentioned since 1165, preserves centuries of history and battles. The Chapel of Santa Marinha, a former parish church linked to the Order of Christ, and the main church, expanded in 1759 with a separate bell tower, are the religious heart of the village. In the Salgadela field stands the Padrão de Pedro Jacques de Magalhães, a memorial to the 1664 battle against the Spanish. Ancient graves, a fountain, and wine presses complete the portrait of a parish that preserves its past and devotion.
