Montijo e Afonsoeiro

Montijo e Afonsoeiro is an administrative district within the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, located south of the Tejo River. The area contains urban neighborhoods alongside residential and commercial spaces that serve the local population.

The district was created in 2013 when administrative reforms merged two separate parishes into one unified jurisdiction. This reorganization was part of a national effort to streamline local government structures.

The Cinema-Teatro Joaquim d'Almeida and the Municipal Museum serve as places where residents and visitors gather for performances and exhibitions. These spaces reflect how the community celebrates its heritage and stays connected to its local roots.

The district is easily accessible by public transportation and offers parking in its urban areas. Visitors will find shops, restaurants, and public services concentrated along the main streets and central neighborhoods.

The area maintains deep connections to the Tejo River, which has long shaped commerce and transportation in the region. This river connection remains central to the character and identity of the place today.
