Location:
Vila Nova de Milfontes is a parish in the municipality of Odemira, district of Beja, located on the north bank of the mouth of the river Mira. It is located in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina and has an area of 75.88 km².
At the end of the Christian reconquest, the Alentejo coast was a sparsely populated and disorganised territory, as such, the king of Portugal D. Afonso III made large donations to the Order of Santiago as rewards for its important role in the war against the Moors. In 1486, King John II founded a new village, in the place called Milfontes, with the purpose of protecting and developing commercial transactions. He detached his territory from the municipality of Sines, to which he previously belonged, and thus created a new municipality that lasted between 1486 and 1836.
Because it was located on the coast, this region was often plagued by pirates, who pillaged and assaulted the population and vessels. In the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, Maghrebian privateering afflicted the Portuguese coasts in a dramatic way. To face this climate of fear and instability, at the end of the sixteenth century the fort of Sao Clemente (castle of Milfontes) was built.
This location is linked to the great feat of Portuguese aviation, which was the first air crossing 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 honour of the aviators and their historical feat, a monument was erected in Praca da Barbican, next to the fort, that recalls the heroic journey. It should be noted that Commander Brito Paes was born in the municipality of Odemira, more specifically in Colos.
