Estremadura, Historical province in central Portugal

The territory stretches along the Atlantic coast from Lisbon to Leiria, encompassing diverse landscapes with limestone hills and river valleys.

The province derived its name from Extrema Durii, marking the territories furthest from the Douro River during the 12th century Reconquista.

The region maintains strong agricultural traditions with vineyards in Torres areas and corn cultivation along the Tagus River valley.

The former province included the districts of Lisbon, Santarém, Leiria, and parts of Setúbal until the administrative reorganization of 1933.

The geological composition differs from other Iberian regions, featuring sandstone and volcanic rocks instead of the typical granite formations.
