Abrantes, Municipality and administrative center in Médio Tejo, Portugal
The territory of Abrantes extends across 714 square kilometers, divided by the Tagus River into northern and southern sections with 13 civil parishes.
The strategic settlement, conquered from Moorish control in 1148 by Afonso I of Portugal, received its municipal charter in 1179 as a military outpost.
The municipality preserves structures from multiple periods, including Roman aqueducts, medieval fortifications, and religious buildings from the 16th century.
The urbanized section of Abrantes, located on the north bank of the Tagus River, contains administrative services for approximately 39,000 residents.
The name Abrantes originates from Latin Aurantes, referring to the gold deposits discovered along the banks of the Tagus River.
