Parede is a community between the larger towns of Oeiras and Cascais, in the district ofLisbon,along theLinha do Estorilrailway line that follows the coast from Lisbon to Estoril and Cascais.
History
[edit]The places name is generally associated with the abundant rocks/boulders within the region, or the walled parcels, common until the growth of the urban settlement.[3]Professor Diogo Correia, in his bookToponímia do Concelho de Cascais,refers to the topology in these terms:"In the opinion of authoritative specialists, the walls that gave the name to the homonymic settlements, were from ruined castles, dismantled redoubts, and many times, hilltop rocks. It was probably from one of these old constructions, not likelycastrosthat fostered the name Parede, in the municipality of Cascais ".[3]Branca Colaço and Maria Archer, later confirm these ideas in their explanation for the locality:"...Parede...its old name, of three or four centuries...topology that many suggest from the many walls of loose rock, that were used to circle their properties...which even today are maintained, and that others attribute to the local terrain's structure, rich limestone in quarries, which, for centuries, were used in the construction of the walls of Lisbon".[3]
The occupation of Parede extends over four thousand years, although only documented references exist from the late 19th century. Although evidence of a Roman presence within the municipality exists (particularly in the civil parish of Alcabideche, Cascais, Estoril, and São Domingos de Rana), there are no similar signs of their presence in Parede. Although not explicit, there is an assumption that Roman forces used the extracted stone from the region, in many of their artefacts or buildings.[3]Vidal de Caldas Nogueira, in articles composed in 1957, suggest that:"The Romans would collect the rock for their constructions, monuments and many of the inscriptions inOlissipo(Lisbon) from the quarries in Lisbon and Sintra, is not difficult to believe that this antique burgh was today exists Parede, they became active in this inscription industry from marble and granite. "[3]
Until 1953, the parish was part of the neighbouring civil parish ofSão Domingos de Rana.At that time, it received administrative autonomy, bringing with it the places of Buzano, Junqueiro, Madorna, Murtal, Penedo and Rebelva.[3]Its limits were established under Decree 39208, 14 May 1953.[3]
