Fafe, Municipality and city in northern Braga, Portugal

The municipality of Fafe spans across 219 square kilometers of land, containing 25 civil parishes with a population exceeding 48,000 residents.

King Ordoño III of León granted the Vila de Moraria and Monte Longo territories to the monastery of Guimarães during the tenth century.

The annual Feiras Francas celebration on May 16 features traditional livestock competitions and horse races dating from the late eighteenth century.

The municipality maintains several administrative offices, educational institutions, and public services distributed throughout its 25 civil parishes.

Between 1907 and 1986, narrow-gauge trains of the Guimarães line connected Fafe to surrounding regions before the track's permanent closure.
