Lisbon Region, Administrative region on the western coast of Portugal
The region spans over 3000 square kilometers, encompassing 18 municipalities including the capital Lisbon, Sintra, Mafra, Setúbal, and Cascais along the Atlantic coast.
The territory underwent significant administrative changes in 2002 when it separated from the former Lisbon and Tagus Valley region to become an independent statistical zone.
The region features numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, from the medieval monasteries to the Pombaline architecture of downtown Lisbon and the palaces of Sintra.
The Lisbon region generates 36 percent of Portugal's economic output and maintains direct transportation links with major European capitals through Portela International Airport.
The area combines urban landscapes, protected natural parks, Atlantic beaches, and multiple fishing ports within the Tagus estuary system.
