Marialva, one of the 12 Historical Villages of Portugal, is located in the municipality of Mêda, in the district of Guarda.

Currently, it is made up of three cores: 1. Citadel: This is the town that, once upon a time, was within the castle walls. Today, it is depopulated and practically in ruins. 2. Arrabal: The area outside the castle walls. 3. Dehesa: It is the part of Marialva that extends south of the citadel to the stream with the same name as the village.

Although Marialva may currently seem like a village with “little life”, it was an important enclave for several people. The most significant part of Marialva is its castle and walled area, situated on top of a promontory more than 600 meters above sea level. It is believed that the first traces of Marialva date back to the 6th century BC, when it was known as the city of Aravor, founded by the Túrdulos.

Later, the Romans renamed it to Civitas Aravorum, making it an important center of convergence of paths. Over the centuries, Marialva was inhabited by Visigoths and Arabs until it was conquered by D. Fernando Magno de Leão in 1063. It was the Arabs who called it Malva, and D. Fernando renamed it as Marialva.

Marialva Castle played a crucial role as one of the most important defensive fortresses, but from the 16th century onwards, it fell into decline, a process that continues to the present day. In addition to history, there is also a legend associated with the name Marialva: it is said that a maiden lived in the village and a young nobleman fell in love with her.

To win her affection, he wanted to give her shoes as a gift, but as he didn't know the size, the shoemaker suggested that she leave prints of her feet in the flour next to the bed. To the shoemaker's surprise, the marks were from crowbars. Nearby Cities: • Mêda: Just 7 kilometers away from Marialva, Mêda is the municipality to which Marialva belongs.
