History:
Benavente is a historic city located on the Tagus estuary with impressive old and modern residences, wooded parks and tourist activities.
In Largo do Município, where the Town Hall is located, a graceful 16th century pillory was rebuilt.
It emerged in 1199 with the settlement of foreign settlers on the south bank of the Tagus, subordinate to the Order of Calatrava.
It has an old charter, given by D. Paio, or Pelágio, master of the Military Order of Évora, on March 25, 1200 and confirmed in Santarém in 1218 by D. Sancho I.
D. Manuel granted it a new charter on January 16, 1516. In addition, it received privileges from several monarchs, especially D. Dinis and D. Fernando.
The historic center is located between Cruzeiro do Largo do Calvário and the place where the old Main Church stood, destroyed by the 1909 Benavente earthquake, which destroyed almost all the houses in the town.
