== History == In 1882, Girabolhos became a part of the civil parish of Tourais and remained so until it was constituted as its own parish. It is home to several landmarks with local historical significance, namely, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Cabeça, the Mother Church, the Chapel of Saint Nicholas, Casa de Girabolhos and the building which serves as the seat of the junta, or parish government. For much of its history, Girabolhos belonged to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Coimbra, though it is today a part of the Diocese of Guarda, itself within the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Lisbon.
