Santarém is a city in Portugal . It is the capital of the Santarém district .
history
Finds show a settlement since the late Bronze Age . Phoenicians , Greeks and other peoples came to trade across the Tagus to this point. In 138 BC Chr. The city under the name Scalabis was first as a Roman documented village. The then further fortified city, later called Scalabis Castro, located in the central Tejo area, became an important administrative and commercial city of the Roman province of Lusitania .
After the invasion of the Alans and the Vandals , the place was called Santa Irene in the 5th century AD. From the time of Sunerico's conquest in 460 , the city belonged to the Visigoth Empire until the Moors conquered it in 715 . In the course of the following Reconquista , Santarém was also contested. Henry of Burgundy , Count of Portucale , conquered the city at the end of the 11th century. It was recaptured by the Arabs in 1110 . Under Portugal's first king, D.Afonso Henriques , Santarém finally became Portuguese on March 15, 1147 . The changing history of the city can be seen in the listed town center. The historic city center is the largest contiguous old town in the country with an area of almost 2 square kilometers.
Santarém supported the Portuguese heir to the throne António von Crato in 1580 . After his unsuccessful efforts and the subsequent personal union of Portugal with Spain, the city felt some neglect and there were various uprisings, for example in 1629 , 1636 and 1637 . After the damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 and the Napoleonic invasions at the beginning of the 19th century, the city then experienced some urban improvements. In 1868 the previous small town ( Vila ) was elevated to a town ( Cidade ). In 2000 the Ponte Salgueiro Maia bridge was built over the Tagus.
administration
Since 2002 Santarém has been included in the statistical region of Alentejo and the statistical sub-region of Lezíria do Tejo , but still belongs to the developing region ( Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional ) Lisbon, which, based on the historical province , bears the name Lisboa e Vale do Tejo .
Santarém is the capital of the Santarém district .
