history
Finds, especially Antas , prove a prehistoric settlement. During the time of the Arab al-Andalus , the Moors maintained a settlement here until they were expelled by the Reconquista in the 12th century. The area has belonged to Lisbon since then and was an air resort for noble families, for example during the plague epidemics. The independent district of Loures was set up on July 26, 1886 , by merging municipalities that were spun off from the now dissolved districts of Olivais and Belém. On October 4, 1910 was the Republican town hall of Loures flag of Portugal and hoisted (the Revolutionary port. : Junta Revolucionaria ), the First Portuguese Republic was proclaimed, one day before the official proclamation. The previous small town ( Vila ) Loures was elevated to a town ( Cidade ) in 1990 .
