Uma Parish

Parish of "UMA"


Its orography is mountainous, with a maximum altitude of 449 meters.

It is not geographically limited by any Salvaterra parish.

In the nearby mountains the river Uma is born, which runs through a large part of the municipality of Salvaterra. The abundance of water streams justifies the large number of mills in existence since modern times.

Uma is one of the parishes where more archaeological remains were found. The materials found are in the hands of individuals or deposited in the Municipal Museum of Ponteareas.

Its first documentary mention appears in the information of the Miracles of San Telmo, made in 1258 with the name "Deuma".
