Spacious 2-bed in Alfragide

Of the old estates that once existed in the area of the present-day parish—Quinta Grande de Alfragide, Quinta do Meio and Quinta das Torres—little remains today. The parish is crossed by one of the largest subsidiary aqueducts of the Águas Livres Aqueduct—the Buraca or Francesas Aqueduct—which begins in the Municipality of Oeiras, in the Serra de Carnaxide, and joins the General Águas Livres Aqueduct in Buraca, near Lisbon.

There are two fully rebuilt windmills in the parish which, nevertheless, do not operate because they have not been completely restored. They serve as a symbol, evoking the several dozen mills that once operated simultaneously in the Amadora region.

The present-day parish of Alfragide and part of Buraca encompasses areas with distinct urban-planning origins and includes the settlements of the Zambujal Integrated Plan, Alfragide Sul, Quinta Grande and the business park along EN 117. It is a polycentric territory, where the supply of goods and services is geared towards differentiated demands inseparable from the socioeconomic status of its inhabitants.
