More about Boticas

Boticas is a municipality in northern Portugal. The population in 2011 was 5,750, in an area of 321.96 km².HistoryOne of the symbols of Boticas is the Galaico Warrior, an anthropomorphic carved monolith in the castro of Lesenho, at an altitude of 1075 metres, under fields of the parish of São Salvador de Viveiro and municipality of Boticas, considered the most important Gallaecian castro in Portugal. The Galaico Warrior is an important example of Portuguese archaeology and represents, according several experts, the image of a deity and warrior of "castreja" civilisation that lived in this area of Portugal.There were several castros dating back to this early civilization, in addition to various Roman monuments. Boticas has its origins in the Roman civitas Batocas, that was centre of mining, and its Termas de Carvalhelhos, thermal springs with rejuvenating miracle waters. Coins from the period of Byzantine Emperor Constantine X Doukas were also found in Covas de Barroso in 1880, in addition to vestiges in Poços das Freitas or the mines of Carvalhelhos, where Romans were known to have mined gold and silver.No later then 314, Boticas also became a diocese, as the episcopal term of its only recorded bishop, Sabino, starts then. It was presumably suppressed around 400, without direct successor see.Waves of barbarian tribes and Moorish invaders crossed the lands of Boticas during the Middle Ages .
