But, on 13 December 1960, Remédios was deannexed (under Decree 43/392) to form its own parish. On 12 June 2002, following a survey of the populations of Bretanha and existing territorial requirements, the civil parishes of Ajuda and Pilar were created from the extinction of the historical parish of Bretanha. On the 25 February 2008, the official heraldry and coat-of-arms were officially presented by president of the Junta Freguesia.
