Setúbal

Setúbal, city and concelho (municipality), southwestern Portugal. It is located southeast of Lisbon, on the northern shore of the deep estuary formed by the Sado, Marateca, and São Martinho rivers. The city served as a royal residence during the reign of King John II (1481–95). With the exception of the church of the former Monastery of Jesus (begun 1490) and the 16th-century Castelo de São Filipe, the older buildings of Setúbal were almost totally destroyed...
