São Gregório

Village created in the 15th century, whose lands were owned by D. Luís Galvão Coutinho Freire.

Since it was close to Vila Viçosa, Estremoz and Borba, abandonment became inevitable. It had almost 40 inhabitants, but in the 80s it was abandoned, until, in 1998, it was acquired and recovered to give rise to the Village Tourism.
