Sitting on the edge of the Tagus, Alcântara covers an area of 4.39 km2 and has a population of 13,911. The parish was created on 8 April 1770, when it was called São Pedro in Alcântara due to the transfer to this area what was until then the parish of São Pedro in Alfama.

It is often associated with the Arabic word “Al-quantãrã”, “the bridge”, referring to the existence of a bridge over the river Alcântara, which has now disappeared.
Alcântara has hills and valleys, along with natural resources on the banks of the river and fertile land that allowed a rich and varied agriculture, with many vegetable gardens in the alluvial valleys, vineyards and cereals, and limestone quarries with lime kilns. It was these conditions that attracted people to settle here during the Muslim occupation, albeit spread apart. It was in the 18th century that Alcântara began to urbanise, coinciding with the creation of the parish.

The factory buildings from the late 19th century, which so marked the neighbourhood in the first decades of the 20th century, have since been abandoned. The industrialisation of Alcântara in the 2nd half of the 19th century gave way, a hundred years later, to the inverse process and a profound social transformation, and most of the properties today are residential and commercial buildings.
