Historical Development: It grew significantly with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century, which turned it into a logistics center connecting Porto to Braga and Spain.
Interesting Facts: The famous writer Camilo Castelo Branco lived and committed suicide in the village of Seide, within its jurisdiction. His house is a museum commemorating the tragic romance of Portuguese literature.
