São Bartolomeu dos Galegos

São Bartolomeu dos Galegos is a former civil parish in the municipality of Lourinhã, Lisbon District, Portugal.

[2][3] Evidence of settlements in the parish has been found from as early as the Neolithic period in the form of caves and artefacts.

[4] In 2001, São Bartolomeu dos Galegos had a population of 1,041 people, a decrease from 1,062 in 1991 and from 1963, where there were 1,570 inhabitants of the parish.

[5][6] After the splitting of Óbidos in the fourteenth century, São Bartolomeu dos Galegos officially became a parish.

[9] On 2 November 2012, the Portuguese government (through the Technical Unit for Administrative Reorganization Planning) suggested reducing the number of parishes in Portugal.
