History
Agricultural and religious heritage
Belonging to the Martins family in the third half of the 17th century, the current Quinta de Monforte has a documented record from 1683, the year of construction of the chapel that one of the family's bishops, António de S. Dionísio, had built there. Between the 17th and 20th centuries, the property, then called Quinta da Naia, was owned by some illustrious families in Portugal. With the arrival of Daniel Rocha in 2014, the estate benefited from extensive renovations and was renamed Quinta de Monforte, in recognition of the new owner's affection for that strong granite mound at the gates of Penafiel.
