Legend has it that the inhabitants of the area were still being attacked by the Moors after the Reconquest, and they decided to group together to better protect themselves. In their search for the ideal place, one of them discovered the place and declared "Companheiros! Aqui séra o nosso Campo Maior" (Companions! Here will be our main domain!). On September 16, 1732, a stockpile of gunpowder and ammunition exploded, destroying part of the city. The bones of the victims now adorn the city's Chapel of the Bones. If the place doesn't inspire you, there are still some beautiful churches to visit as well as beautiful museums..
