Maria Da Fonte
The Revolution of Maria da Fonte, or Revolution of the Minho, is the name given to a popular revolt in the spring of 1846 against the Cartista government of Portugal (presided over by António Bernardo da Costa Cabral, 1st Marquess of Tomar). The revolt resulted from social tensions remaining from the Liberal Wars, exacerbated by great popular discontent generated by new military recruitment laws, fiscal alterations and the prohibition on burials inside churches. It began in the area of Póvoa de Lanhoso (Minho Province, Minho) by a popular uprising that little by little extended to the whole north of Portugal.

The uprising afterwards spread to the remainder of the country and provoked the replacement of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was classified as a National Monument by decree on 16 June 1910. It is dedicated to Saint Saviour. History The monastery was founded by a donation of D. Godinho Fafes (or Falifaz), father of the rich count D. Henrique, responsible for building the hunting-lodge of Fontarcada, in whose yard the church was built, possibly at the start of the 12th century.

In 1450 king Afonso V of Portugal confirmed the monastery's privileges, five years before the archbishop of Braga Fernando da Guerra decide ...
