Campolide is a municipality ( freguesia ) in the Portuguese district of Lisbon . 15,460 inhabitants live in it (as of June 30, 2011).

The development of the Campolide district arose from the construction of the Aqueduto das Águas Livres in the 18th century. The construction workers who came to build the aqueduct had to be housed. So the neighborhood began to unfold. Until then, the area was largely rural, consisting of scattered villages alongside the rich estates of the nobility or religious orders.

Another evolutionary surge was the opening of the Campolide- Alcântara railway line (1886) in the late nineteenth century and the construction of the Rossio Tunnel (1890), with the emergence of new working-class quarters and the creation of numerous popular communities.

Campolide is located directly in the approach lane of Lisbon's Portela airport when aircraft lands from the south with the usual north-westerly winds. The jet jets fly at a height of around 400 meters over the part of the city that is most affected by aircraft noise in Lisbon.
