Vila de Santar
Santar is a noble village located in the region of Dão-Lafões, with high architectural and landscape quality, surrounded by large areas of farms and gardens, where the wine-growing activity defines and shapes the daily lives of the populations.
In the region we find several archaeological remains of Roman occupation, as well as several records of occupation from the early Middle Ages.
During the reign of D. João I, the lands of Santar belonged to Diogo Soares de Albergaria, who boosted its development based on agricultural potential, more precisely wine-growing.
Santar has been a village since March 21, 1928 and, considered one of the noblest and most beautiful in the district of Viseu, designated at the height of development and importance as "Cortes da Beira", according to Júlio Gil's reference in "The most beautiful villages in Portugal". ”.
