São Martinho de Mouros is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Resende, with an area of 14.67 km² and 1333 inhabitants (2021). Its population density is 90.9 inhabitants/km²

It was the county seat between 1121 and 1855. It was made up of the parishes of the seat, Barrô, Fontoura and Paus. In 1801 it had 5503 inhabitants and in 1849 it had 6122.

The parish of S. Martinho de Mouros is one of the oldest in the county. It is almost entirely on the slope of the right bank of the Bestança river, on the way to the Douro, which limits it to the north.

Toponymy

At the beginning of the 11th century, with Almançor dead, Christian troops definitively reconquered the lands on the banks of the Douro from the Moors, from Foz to Aregos and Resende, on the left bank. They were Gascos from the Ribadouro lineage and ancestors of Egas Moniz.

S. Martinho, however, continued to belong to the Moorish military defense area of Lamego until the middle of that century.
