Lamego is a municipality in northern Portugal, with a population of 27,054 inhabitants (the catchment of the city of Lamego has a population of about 8,848, which includes the historic center and approximately 17,000 in its urban area. It is located in the Norte Region of the Douro, part of the old district of Viseu. The toponomic name Lamego was derived from Lamaecus, a name Roman-Hispanic derivative to indicate the possessor of agrarian titles in the third century around the local castle.
Lamego became Christian when the Visigothic king Recaredo I converted to Christianty. In 570, during the Council of Lugo, there appeared references to Sardinário the Bishop of Lamego. During the reign of Sisebuto (612-621), the Visigothic monarch coined currency from Lamego, indicating the importance of the region to commerce and culture. Just outside the town, within walking distance from the back of the cathedral, is the tiny 7th century São Pedro de Balsemão Chapel, a Visigothic chapel believed to be the oldest in Portugal (and second oldest in Europe).
