The history of this region, of which Castro Verde is the main town, goes back to prehistoric times. The Roman occupation is much in evidence with various finds showing important historic sites. One such site is the village of Santa Bárbara dos Padrões, where an important and diversified collection of Roman oil lamps from the 1st century AD were discovered in 1994. These lamps and many other interesting artefacts are on display at the new Museu da Lucerna (Lamp Museum) in Castro Verde. The museum has facilities for disabled and offers guided tours.
