Zebreira

Like other civil parishes in Portugal, in the 12th century it was repopulated by the Order of the Templars during the Reconquista.

Within the town, there is the Mother Church (from the 18th century), the chapels (especially the altar of the chapel of Espírito Santo), the pillory of 1686 (whose faces have lions, an armillary sphere, a flower and two arms with a cleaver), and the Town Hall with the bell tower.

Close to the Guarda Nacional Republicana garrison, is the primary school with a beautiful tiled facade.

The town of Zebreira has about 33% of gypsies, also known as Romani (Portuguese ciganos), among its population.

The economy of the town revolves around agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.
