Cadaval, Administrative division in Lisbon District, Portugal

Description

Cadaval is an administrative division located in the Lisbon area, situated within the Oeste region and organized into seven civil parishes. The territory combines urban and rural characteristics across its span.

History

The administrative boundaries were established in 1371, marking the beginning of a long tradition of local governance. Over six centuries, this structure evolved through different periods of Portuguese history.

Culture

The place is connected to Sofia Quintino, a pioneering nurse who helped shape modern healthcare in Portugal, and her legacy remains part of local identity. Her work in advancing secular nursing reflects the progressive character of this region.

Practical

The region features hilly terrain that can make travel and exploration somewhat challenging. Comfortable footwear and a map or GPS navigation are recommended to move easily between the different parishes.

Did you know?

The region is shaped by several ridges, including Serra de Montejunto, which is the most prominent elevation in the area. These natural heights offer views across the surrounding Oeste landscape.
