Embora a data exata da sua funda\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o esteja totalmente documentada, a Igreja de S\u00e3o Rom\u00e3o ter\u00e1 origem medieval, tendo sofrido reconstru\u00e7\u00f5es e adapta\u00e7\u00f5es ao longo dos s\u00e9culos, em particular ap\u00f3s o per\u00edodo da Reconquista Crist\u00e3 e durante a \u00c9poca Moderna. A sua exist\u00eancia reflete a consolida\u00e7\u00e3o de Alferce como n\u00facleo habitacional organizado e a afirma\u00e7\u00e3o do cristianismo no territ\u00f3rio serrano.<\/p>
