Nuno Álvares Pereira, who built the first house and a chapel on his lands, which belonged to the order of Santiago. That was probably why they called him Santiago. Official censuses up to 1828 indicate that its population was 40 dwellings and 112 inhabitants. By 1836 it had more than 1,200 inhabitants. Later they added the name (of the Escoural), taking this idea from the abrasions of the ores, discovered in its surroundings. It is protected by the Serra do Monfurado, with all the agglomeration of rare species on the verge of extinction. Its heritage is the cave with parietal art.
