About Palmela
Where the past shapes a vibrant present.
Located in the heart of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Palmela is the largest municipality on the Setúbal peninsula. Set in the foothills of the Arrábida mountain range, it offers a distinctive mix of natural beauty, culture and modern living.
Shaped by centuries of Iberian history, Palmela reflects influences from the Romans, who are believed to have given the town its name, and the Arabs, who built the hilltop castle that overlooks the landscape between the Tagus and Sado rivers. Today, the region forms part of the Costa Azul, with Setúbal Bay recognised as one of the most beautiful in the world.
With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Palmela is perfectly suited to outdoor living. It is also one of Portugal’s most celebrated wine regions, surrounded by vineyards, coastline, mountains and parks that offer plenty of opportunities for leisure and exploration.
For Motherson, Palmela is a place where people can build fulfilling careers while enjoying an exceptional quality of life. Here, you can grow both personally and professionally in a community rich in character, nature and opportunity.
