Sixteen kilometers from the county seat, the parish of Peraboa is located on the left bank of the river Zêzere. It comprises the places of Castanheira de Baixo, Castanheira de Cima, Lomba do Freixo, Peraboa, Quintas da França and Quintas da Serra.
The parish was a priory of the presentation of the chapter of the Sé da Guarda. In fact, the Cathedral of Guarda can be said to have been at the genesis of the creation of Peraboa. It is because the first artists who, in the village, broke stone and worked for the construction of that cathedral, were the same ones who were responsible for the construction of the first houses of Peraboa. Thus, the land whose settlement had begun much earlier began to develop.
That is, during the Neolithic period. From this, some archaeological remains were found, which effectively prove the statements produced.
