Almada, Urban municipality on the south bank of Tagus River, Portugal

The municipality of Almada spans 70 square kilometers across the southern margin of the Tagus River, directly facing the capital city of Lisbon.

Archaeological findings reveal that human settlements in Almada date back to the Neolithic period, with subsequent occupations by Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors.

The municipality maintains multiple theaters, exhibition spaces, and performance venues that showcase Portuguese arts through regular programs and annual festivals.

Regular ferry services connect Almada's port of Cacilhas to central Lisbon, while the 25 de Abril Bridge provides road and rail transportation between both cities.

Costa da Caparica, within Almada's boundaries, contains an uninterrupted 15-kilometer stretch of Atlantic beaches frequented by residents of the Lisbon metropolitan area.
