about the place
Aguiar da Beira is located in the District of Guarda, in a landscape of gentle hills and open fields typical of Beira Alta. Its history stretches back to the early Middle Ages: in 1120, Queen D. Teresa granted the territory its first royal charter, a founding milestone that attests to the strategic importance of the place in the early days of Portugal's formation. The Municipality is also known for its traditions linked to artisan cheese, which persist in the various parishes that make up this highland territory.
