The archaeological excavations at Montinho das Laranjeiras uncovered a series of walls, believed to be that of an important Roman villa. A cruciform building once stood alongside the villa, and this has been ascribed by scholars to be a Christian church built in the period of Byzantine rule over the south of Iberian Peninsula, during the 6th and 7th centuries. The site shows signs of continuous occupation until after the Christian Reconquest in 13th century.
