SETÚBAL - DESCRIPTION
Being well sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean Setúbal has become the third largest port in Portugal. It lies to the south of Lisbon and a good motorway provides easy access.

The town of Setúbal is attractive with pedestrian streets, gardens and interesting shops. The 16th Century Cathedral Santa Maria da Graça has beautiful examples of tiles from the 18th Century. The Igreja de Jesus is a remarkable Gothic church with interior columns carved in Arrábida pink stone from the nearby quarry. The architect Diogo Boitac designed this wonderful early example of Manueline style in 1494. The Museu de Setúbal is to be found in the Mosteiro de Jesus and has many religious items and paintings. Part of the collection is dedicated to the famous 18th Century Portuguese romantic poet Bocage. The Museu de Arqueológia e Etnográfia has a varied and interesting collection of items discovered in the immediate region, from Bronze Age pots to the processing of cork. The 16th Century Castelo de São Filipe was constructed to defend the port from passing marauders. It has now been turned into an attractive luxury Pousada.
