Lavradio

Lavradio is a civil parish district that forms part of the Barreiro municipality in the Setúbal region near the Tagus River. The area contains residential streets, housing, and local facilities that serve its population of thousands.

The district received its Marquess title in 1753 from King José I, marking a significant moment in its past. In 2013, it underwent administrative consolidation by merging with Barreiro to form a single civil parish.

The area holds connections to Portuguese nobility through the title of Marquess of Lavradio, which shaped how locals view their region's place in the country's past. This aristocratic link remains part of the district's identity today.

The district benefits from a direct ferry connection to Lisbon, making it easy for visitors to access and explore the area. Those planning to visit should prepare for river transport and familiarize themselves with local travel options.

The district is home to historic windmills from the 1800s that have been converted into lodgings while keeping their original architectural features and visible millstones intact. This repurposing shows how traditional rural structures found new life in the modern era.
