Odivelas, Municipality in Lisbon metropolitan area, Portugal.

The municipality spans across 26.40 square kilometers of land with residential areas, pine forests, and agricultural sections, particularly near the Caneças region.

King Denis established the Monastery of São Dinis in 1295, which became a central monument despite sustaining damage during the 1755 earthquake.

The Águas Livres Aqueduct, constructed between 1731 and 1834, represents the engineering capabilities of the era in addressing water distribution needs.

Located 10 kilometers from Lisbon center, Odivelas connects to neighboring municipalities through an extensive network of roads and public transportation.

The etymology of Odivelas stems from King Denis's nocturnal visits, as his wife would ask if he was 'going to see them' in Portuguese.
