location:
Vila Nova de Milfontes is a parish in the municipality of Odemira, Beja district, located on the north bank of the mouth of the Mira River. It is inserted in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina and has 75.88 km² of area.
At the end of the Christian reconquest, the Alentejo coast was a sparsely populated and disorganized territory, as such, the King of Portugal D. Afonso III made large donations to the Order of Santiago as rewards for his important role in the war against the Moors. In 1486, D. Joao II founded a new village, on the site called Milfontes, with the purpose of protecting and developing commercial transactions. It disannexed its territory from the municipality of Sines, to which it once belonged, and thus created a new municipality that lasted between 1486 and 1836.
Because it was located on the coast, this region was often beset by pirates, who plundered and assaulted the population and vessels. In the 16th to 18th centuries, the Maghreb Corsican distressed the Portuguese coasts dramatically. To cope with this climate of fear and instability, at the end of the sixteenth century he was ordered to build the fort of St. Clement (castle of Milfontes).
This locality is linked to the great achievement of Portuguese aviation that was the first crossing area between Portugal and Macau, carried out by Brito Paes and Sarmento Beires. It was on April 7, 1924 that the pilots left campo dos Coitos, near Milfontes, towards the East. In honor of the aviators and their historical achievement, it was erected in The Square of Barbaca, next to the fort, a monument that recalls the heroic journey. It should be noted that Commander Brito Paes was a native of the municipality of Odemira, more specifically Colos.
