The parish's patron is S. Martinho, whose charter was granted by King Martinho Pais in April 1214, calling it Alvende. Heritage: The parish church, the São Sebastião chapel, the diving fountains, the cruises, the hillfort (castle), the stone tomb, and so on. It has an altar dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Rosário (Our Lady of the Rosary), whose devotion is deeply ingrained. Read more: https://alvendre.webnode.pt/historia/ Traditions: On the Day of S. Martinho, in addition to the usual Magusto, there is also a pig slaughter. The parish of Alvendre is formed by two adjoining parishes, Quinta da Umbelina and Quinta dos Oteleiros.
