Location

Situated in the locality of Barcarena, within the municipality of Oeiras, Quinta da Moura occupies a position that defines the southwestern boundary of the parish. This area is located upstream of one of the region's main roadways, the A5 motorway, and unfolds along the banks of the Barcarena stream.

Character of the Area

Quinta da Moura presents itself as a low-density residential area, with its main development beginning in the 1990s. The local scene is marked by the predominance of single-family homes, which contributes to a generally quieter environment with more ample spaces, away from the hustle and bustle of more urbanized areas.

Natural Setting

The presence of the Barcarena stream in the vicinity of Quinta da Moura provides a natural framing element to the local landscape. Although not a scenic point of interest in itself, the proximity of this watercourse integrates into the area's surroundings, contributing to the character of its residential environment.
