Amora: Location and surroundings of this property

The Parish of Amora belongs to the municipality of Seixal. It is limited to the north by the Tagus River cove, to the west by the Parish of Corroios, to the south by the municipality of Sesimbra and to the East by the Tagus Cove, Judeu River and Arrentela Parish. The Royal Family frequently visited the parish of Amora, namely the palace of Prince D. Augusto, son of D. Maria II, which is located near Quinta da Princesa, on the site of the original 18th century farm, where he -King D. Carlos hunted and spent time at leisure. More recently, in the 20th century, rapid urbanization occurred, with the arrival of people from the Algarve and Alentejo in 1966. As occurred in the city of Almada, shortly after the 25th of April, the resident population increased exponentially, business and the economy in general , becoming a village and then a city with its own life and activity. This Parish has a large area bathed by two branches of the Tagus River (one that ends to the northeast, in Almada and the other to the south, in Torre da Marinha) facilitating contact with the outside world by river. By land, it has always been an important crossing point between Cacilhas and part of the South Bank (Azeitão, Setúbal and Sesimbra), functioning as part of the corridor that connects the capital to the south of the country. Cruz de Pau is a town with 31,377 inhabitants (2021) on the south bank of the Tagus River, north of the A2 motorway, which is part of the city of Amora, in the parish of the same name, in the municipality of Seixal. It includes the Paivas area in its official limits. It is part of the group of dormitory cities in the area south of the Tagus of the Greater Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
