about the place
Loures lies to the north of Lisbon, on a fertile plain that for centuries supplied the capital with vegetables and wine. The word 'saloio', used to describe its inhabitants, appears in documents dating back to 1170. The municipality was established on 26 July 1886 by royal decree, bringing together parishes from the former municipalities of Olivais and Belém. In October 1910, the republican flag was raised here four days before the official proclamation of the Republic.
