Campo de Ourique

The parish of Campo de Ourique was created by Law 56/2012 and takes its name from the bairro of Campo de Ourique, a planned grid of streets bounded by Rua Ferreira Borges, Rua Tomás da Anunciação, Rua de Campo de Ourique and Rua Saraiva de Carvalho. The parish also covers the former parishes of Santa Isabel and Santo Condestável. It had 22,140 residents in the 2021 census (INE).

The parish council notes that Campo de Ourique has 5% of the city's buildings and 4% of its homes and residents on 2% of its territory, about twice the city's average density.

• Street grid. The neighbourhood was laid out on a regular grid; Rua Ferreira Borges, tree-lined like an avenue, is one of its best-known streets.
• History. The parish council recalls that the 5 October 1910 revolution that founded the Republic began here, and that its cafés hosted literary and political gatherings. Fernando Pessoa lived at Rua Coelho da Rocha 16, now the cultural centre Casa Fernando Pessoa.
• Population. In 2021, 14.3% of residents were under 15 (Lisbon: 13.0%), 24.5% were 65 or older and 11.3% were foreign nationals (Lisbon: 10.1%).

• Trams: 28E (to Estrela, Chiado, the cathedral, Graça and Martim Moniz) and 25E (to Estrela, Lapa, Santos and Praça da Figueira) both end at Campo Ourique (Prazeres), with a stop at the Santo Condestável church.
• Metro: there is no Metro station in the parish today. The parish council publishes information about the project to extend the Red line to Campo de Ourique.
• Buses: Carris bus routes connect the area with other parts of the city; check carris.pt for the lines nearest your address.

We have no official rent figures for the parish; the municipality of Lisbon had a median rent of €17.42 per m² for new leases in the first quarter of 2026 (INE data reported by ECO). Ask about noise from neighbours and the street when you visit.

Children under 15 made up 14.3% of residents in 2021, above the city average. The Jardim Teófilo Braga, known as the Jardim da Parada, with the statue of Maria da Fonte, is the neighbourhood's central garden. Public school places are allocated by area of residence.
