Oeiras
Despite its size and population of 35,000, Oeiras remains a town. It is located on the right bank of the Tagus estuary, and its economy is primarily based on services. It was in the 12th and 13th centuries that some of the municipality's coastal forts were built. However, it would be in the 16th century, under the reign of King Manuel I, that Oeiras experienced greater growth, with the establishment of several industrial units, notably gunpowder workshops in Barcarena. In 1759, Oeiras was elevated to town status, and in 1898, it became a municipality, after three years of belonging to Cascais. Currently, the municipality boasts one of the highest quality of life indices in Portugal, serving as the headquarters of important companies involved in new technologies.
