Alcântara, Administrative district in western Lisbon, Portugal.
The freguesia of Alcântara extends over 5.07 square kilometers between Ajuda and Belém, featuring an elevation of 86 meters above sea level.
Archaeological findings from the Paleolithic era demonstrate early human settlements in Alcântara, which was known as Horta Navia during Roman occupation.
The district maintains its community spirit through local facilities like Biblioteca de Alcântara and Mercado Rosa Agulhas, where residents gather for various activities.
The Junta de Freguesia de Alcântara provides essential administrative services and organizes Portuguese language classes for new residents throughout the year.
During the 19th century, Alcântara transformed from a noble estate area into an industrial center, establishing factories and warehouses along the Tagus River.
