Santa Maria Maior, Administrative district in central Lisbon, Portugal
Santa Maria Maior spans 3.01 square kilometers in central Lisbon, containing the neighborhoods of Baixa, parts of Bairro Alto, and Alfama.
The district emerged from a 2012 administrative reorganization that merged twelve historical parishes into a single administrative unit centered around Lisbon Cathedral.
The district maintains the Lisbon Cathedral, Rossio Square, Praça do Comércio, and São Jorge Castle, representing Portuguese architectural achievements through centuries.
The district office manages community services for 12,822 residents while coordinating with municipal authorities on urban development and maintenance projects.
The Santa Maria Maior Literary Prize recognizes Portuguese authors annually, contributing to the preservation of national literature within the historic center.
