Tour – History of Campo Maior

Campo Maior has stories of miracles, fighting, tragedies and contraband. Its history is closely related with the border defense, containing the advancement of invading armies. The village valiantly resisted sieges, even those in which it surrendered, as, for example, in 1801, during the War of the Oranges.
