São Domingos de Benfica, Administrative district in northern Lisbon, Portugal.
São Domingos de Benfica spans 4.29 square kilometers and contains numerous parks, residential areas, schools, hospitals, and commercial establishments across its territory.
The Dominican order received this land from King John I of Portugal, leading to the construction of the Palace of Benfica as a summer residence for monarchs.
The district maintains several architectural monuments, including the Palace of the Marquises of Fronteira and the Church of São Domingos de Benfica, representing different historical periods.
The area connects to central Lisbon through multiple metro stations, including Alto dos Moinhos and Laranjeiras, while offering competitive housing prices at 4,346 euros per square meter.
Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, many aristocratic families transformed their summer residences into permanent homes, altering the district's residential patterns.
