In the municipality of Vouzela, in the Lafões region, this parish brings together Fataunços and Figueiredo das Donas. Fataunços lies just over a kilometre from the town, appears in the Inquirições of 1258, and preserves a mother church of the Royal Patronage, with the royal coat of arms above the high altar, as well as manor houses belonging to families such as the Alcoforado and the Amorim Girão.

Fataunços lies just over a kilometre west of Vouzela, in the lands of Lafões. Stretches of Roman road and place names such as Lafão, Atalaia and Bandavizes preserve memories of Romanisation and the Arab presence. The first Christian community was known as São Miguel da Folgosa, and the parish already appears in an organised form in the Inquirições of King Afonso III, in 1258.<p>The parish church (matriz), enlarged and restored in the eighteenth century, retains its gilded carved altarpiece bearing the royal arms and five angels, as it belonged to the Royal Patronage. The late early modern period brought manor houses bearing coats of arms belonging to families such as the Alcoforado, the Menezes e Castro, the Lemos, the Melo, the Amorim and the Girão. The Torre de Bandavizes, one of the medieval towers of the municipality, has since disappeared.<p>Between 1914 and 1990, the narrow-gauge Vouga railway passed through Fataunços. The patron saint is São Carlos Borromeu, celebrated on 4 November, and on 17 January the romaria de Santo Antão takes place. In 2013 the parish merged with Figueiredo das Donas.
