The civil parish of Santo António is the result of the merger of three Lisbon parishes: S. José, Coração de Jesus and São Mamede. This group of parishes stems from the administrative reorganisation of the city of Lisbon, which took place in September 2013. The history of these parishes goes much further back.

At the end of the 12th century, under the authority of the Bishop of Lisbon, the first ten parishes appeared in the capital (delimited areas, in the city or the countryside, where individuals who followed the same religion lived, and their focal point was the temple or the mother church). In 1247, São Mamede was born, famous for housing the Lisbon Botanical Garden and the National Press Building. It is the oldest of the parishes that today make up Santo António.

In the 16th century, Lisbon’s Jewish and Moorish communities were extinct. At the same time, conquests, shipping and maritime trade brought more wealth to the kingdom. An increase in the population created the need for more parishes. Twelve new parishes appeared like this in November 1567. Among them is the parish of S. José, which is renowned for places like Parque Mayer, Avenida da Liberdade and Cinema Tivoli.
