Mortágua (European Portuguese: [muɾˈtaɣwɐ] or [mɔɾˈtaɣwɐ] ⓘ) is a municipality in the district of Viseu, Portugal. The population in 2011 was 9,607,[1] in an area of 251.18 km2.[2]

The present mayor is Ricardo Sérgio Pardal, elected in 2021 by the Socialist Party.

History

Legend suggests that that village was formed on a lake; settlers recalled that Água Morta (dead water) existed here, but no physiological evidence remains of the body of water.[3] Over time, the name stayed and evolved, becoming the variant today of the local municipality.

About 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the main village is a hill, covered in vegetation, but whose lateral flank was occupied by a Moorish settlement known as Crasto.[3] Over a cliff archeologists discovered several homes including a building that was defined as a kitchen, on its edge.[3]

By 1895, several chapels were situated on this hilltop, which had become known as Cabeça da Senhora do Mundo (owing to the existence of an image to that invocation).[3]

Geography

Administratively, the municipality is divided into 7 civil parishes (freguesias):[4]

  • Cercosa
  • Espinho
  • Marmeleira
  • Mortágua, Vale de Remígio, Cortegaça e Almaça
