Azeitão owes its name to the ancient times, when Romans and Arabs cultivated and took the best advantage of these fertile lands. The unique climate provided by the mountains and its proximity to the sea, together with the soils, made it possible to plant a vast olive grove here. At that time, it was responsible for the production of a rich olive oil, which ended up baptising the region of Azeitão. In addition to olive oil, clay pieces, tiles and wines with particular characteristics were also produced here, but it was mainly through the friars of Arrábida that, along with liqueurs, the region began to be more linked to the cultivation of vines, such as the wines of Quinta e Palácio da Bacalhoa, or the José Maria da Fonseca Cellars, the oldest producer of table wine and Moscatel de Setúbal in Portugal. Azeitão was the seat of a county extinct on October 24,1855 and integrated into the county of Setúbal. It is formed by the former parishes of São Lourenço and São Simão that encompassed the villages of Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, Brejos de Azeitão, Vendas de Azeitão and Vila Fresca de Azeitão. They share the name ”of Azeitão”, thanks to the extensive olive groves that, in the Arab era, dominated those places. The lands of Azeitão embodied by these two ancient parishes, now unified, have been since the foundation of the Kingdom of Portugal an integral part of the county of Sesimbra The whole main street, is an invitation to enjoy the traditional commerce, here with a strong historical and artistic component, where we highlight some antique shops.
