Carnide (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐɾˈniðɨ] ) is a freguesia (civil parish) and typical quarter of Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal. Located in northern Lisbon, Carnide is north of São Domingos de Benfica and Benfica, east of Lumiar, and directly south of Lisbon's border with Odivelas. The population in 2021 was 18,028. [1] [2]
The settlement of the extensive area north of the boundaries of Lisbon up to Odivelas dates back to ancient times, preceding Romanization. In addition to traces of scattered occupation during the Neolithic era, a few small-sized settlements were established, which were swiftly assimilated into Roman culture and economy.
During the 1st century, there existed several farming ventures within the region that now constitutes the freguesia (civil parish) of Carnide, ensuring the sustenance of the settlements there.
In the 4th century, there was a surge in population recorded, owing to the erection of a fresh cathedral, a monastery, and an infirmary (currently known as the Hospital da Luz, which presently houses the Colégio Militar). [3]
During the Muslim rule of the Iberian Peninsula between the 8th and 12th centuries, the occupation intensified with the consolidation of small homesteads and the development of orchards and gardens. The region was considered the granary of Lisbon and from here, agricultural products regularly supplied the city.
At the time of the conquest of Lisbon, the number of local residents was already significant. They were later joined by many Moors who were either expelled from the city proper (Mouraria) or left voluntarily. Christians and Muslims eventually merged in a short time, erasing religious and cultural differences. [3] [4]
The parish is believed to have been formally established in the year 1279. During this period, toponymic recognition became permanently entrenched. The name Carnide is undoubtedly of greater antiquity (Celtic, Latin, or Moorish in origin), yet it started to gain widespread use only in the medieval era.
Renowned for its salubrious air, the parish attracted a number of aristocrats who chose to take up residence in Carnide, thereby enlivening the local economy. This inclination continued until the 16th century when Carnide was transformed into a hamlet, positioned between the Church of Nossa Senhora da Luz and the Church of São Lourenço (1342). [3] It belongs - as the rest of Catholic religious buildings found in the parish - to the Lisbon Patriarchate of the Catholic Church.
Many noblemen arrived in Carnide to convalesce from military campaigns in the conquest of North Africa during the reign of King Afonso V. The monarch himself, who in 1442 granted land in the vicinity of Carnide, is believed to have temporarily resided here, as did King John II, who dispatched a letter to the Baron of Alvito dated March 24, 1462, and signed in Carnide.
In 1463, the veneration of Our Lady of Light [5] commenced. This was the year in which a young man by the name of Pero Martins claimed to have beheld the apparition of Our Lady in his dreams, cradling the Infant Jesus in her arms while holding a candle or a lantern. Subsequently, the devotion to Our Lady of Light began to spread, with Archbishop D. Afonso laying the foundation stone of the Church of Our Lady of Light in Carnide the following year, in the presence of King D. Afonso V and other members of the royal court. [6] [7] [8]
The following year, a pilgrimage began at the end of summer, in September, marking the conclusion of the agricultural harvests. In the XVI century Infanta Maria, Duchess of Viseu sponsored the construction of several buildings in the area.
In the XVI century in the parish was also active Spanish painter Francisco Venegas, whose works can still be found in the local church.
By the 18th century, the parish was essentially composed of two established nuclei, Carnide and Luz. In the 18th century, Luz served as a significant hub of attraction within the parish of Carnide. Large fairs and pilgrimages were held in the current Garden and Praça da Luz (Luz Square), drawing numerous visitors to the area during the summer months. The processions and pilgrimages of Nossa Senhora da Luz were grand events, attended even by the nobility. [9] [10] Members of the nobility-upper class linked to Carnide include both daughters of politician Hermano Braamcamp de Almeida Castelo Branco, who married in the parish, but also Luísa de Bragança, Duchess of Cadaval that with her aunt Maria of Braganza (natural daughter of John IV of Portugal) was raised in a Monastery in the area. It is worth noting that during the 18th century well-known painter-engraver Vieira Lusitano was also active in the area.
In 1852, the parish of Carnide was incorporated into the newly established municipality of Belém. Thirty-three years later, in 1885, it once again became part of the municipality of Lisbon. During this period, urban development works were carried out in the Praça da Luz (Luz Square), and improvements were made to the public roads in the parish. [3] [11] [12] Under the old administrative division, it was part of the province of Estremadura.
At the end of the 19th century, the construction of two ceramic factories in the outskirts of the settlements, along with the establishment of industrial units in neighboring parishes, invigorated the economy and encouraged laborers to settle in Carnide.
In the 20th century, agricultural practices, coupled with rural exodus, led to the abandonment of many estates. This, in turn, marked the commencement of intensive urbanization in the area. The once rural parish - in the beginning of the XX century there were still areas without electricity or tap water [13] - became in the course of the XX century a highly urbanized area. Despite the buildings found nowadays, there are still reminiscences of its origins if the toponymy of the parish is taken into account. In fact, places such as "Azinhaga das Cerejeiras" or "Azinhaga dos Cerejais" recall the cherry trees once cultivated in the area or places such as "Azinhaga do serrado" (literally "narrow street with dense vegetation") or also "Azinhaga dos Lameiros" (literally "narrow street of the meadows") or Largo das Pimenteiras (literally "Pepper plant square") or even Largo do Malvar (literally "Mallow square") are clear reminders of the rural past of the parish. [14] [13] [15] [16] [17] Other toponyms such as "Azinhaga das freiras" or "Azinhaga das Carmelitas" are, on the other hand, reminders of the convents once found in the parish. [18] [19] [20]
Carnide had always been a parish where the aristocracy coexisted with the less privileged social strata. Nowadays, Carnide boasts both older and more contemporary districts. If the Carnide Historic centre houses around 1,300 people, while more than 6,000 live in Bairro Padre Cruz, one of the biggest social housing neighbourhoods in Europe. Its living conditions were also used as a background for Portuguese drama film Blood of My Blood. [11]
Relevant historical happenings include Teatro da Luz (Luz theatre) being established as Teatro Dom Luiz Filipe in 1903. [21] Then, in 1913, Carnide Theatre (Teatro de Carnide) was established. Carnide Theatre, previously known as Carnide Dramatic Society, merged with the Carnide Theater Group, founded in 1953. [22]
The urbanization of Bairro Padre Cruz occurred in 1959 [23] while shortly after, in 1960, the Estádio Dr.Agostinho Lourenço was built. [24] In 1962 the Bairro Padre Cruz Market was inaugurated, due to the reconversion of a building dating 1907. Currently (2023), the market is being extensively renovated. [25] In the same year the market was inaugurated, the Our Lady of Fátima church (Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Fátima) was built as well. [26]
The urbanization of Bairro da Horta Nova started in the 1970s. [27] During the same time period a new building in Carnide - part of the larger "Quinta dos Condes de Carnide urban project" - was selected as the Valmor prize winner. [28] Amongst known architects who worked in Carnide in the second half of the XX century there was also Jorge Ferreira Chaves.
In 1978 the Vergílio Ferreira Secondary School was erected where the Quinta dos Inglesesinhos, a community of Catholic Irish friars, once stood while the Carnide urbanization project was again awarded the Valmor Prize in 1985. [21] Three years afterwards, the Colégio Militar/Luz metro station opened in 1988.
During 1991-1996 two major works were inaugurated. Lispolis, a non-profit private association representing 126 enterprises and with a big campus in Carnide, [29] [30] and the Carnide Cemetery. Notable people buried here include poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen [31] [32]
The Colombo shopping mall - that now employs around 5,500 people - was inaugurated in 1997. In the same year Carnide metro station and Pontinha metro station were opened to the public. [33] [34] [35]
The inauguration of Casa do Artista-Apoiarte occurred in 1999 [21] while in 2001 and 2003, respectively, the MFA Museum [36] and the Armando Cortez theatre were opened (teatro Armando Cortez). [21]
In 2004, two organizations were inaugurated. TIL-Teatro infantil de Lisboa, an association promoting theatre amongst kids since 1976, established its headquarters in Armando Cortez theatre, [37] [38] and the Luz Hospital (Hospital da Luz), the largest private hospital in Portugal and property of Luz Saúde group. [39] [40] [41] In the same year, there was the requalification of Alameda Roentgen, now a green area with children's playgrounds and commercial activities. [42] [38]
The First Colombo tower (Torre Oriente) was completed in 2009. [43] [44] In the same year the Former Portuguese Design Centre building was awarded with the Valmor prize. [21] Three years later - in 2011 - the Second Colombo tower (Torre Ocidente) was completed. [45]
Following the Administrative Reform of civil parishes occurred in Portugal in 2012-2013, Carnide lost around 17.6% of its population to Lumiar and Benfica. [46] [47]
In 2013 Carnide was again mentioned during the Valmor prize for architecture ceremony thanks to its efforts in urbanizing Lispolis district. [21]
Year 2015 saw the start of an ambitious project aimed at rehabilitating Bairro Padre Cruz neighbourhood, where around 6,100 people live, making it one of the biggest social housing neighbourhoods in Europe. [48] [49] By 2019, more than 300 houses had already been torn down and substituted by better accommodations. [50] [51] In 2020 the construction of other 100 brand new houses, as well as the demolition of old ones, was announced. [52]
In 2016 Bairro Padre Cruz hosted a street art festival that provided the neighbourhood with more than 90 artworks, still visible today and now a major attraction in the parish. [53] [54] [55] [56]
In 2021 the Luz Hospital complex (private) became the first private university hospital in Portugal. [57] In the same year, a major requalification of Bairro da Horta Nova (Horta Nova neighbourhood) occurred. [58]
Dealing with the development of Colombo shopping mall, in 2022 the construction of a third tower, as well as the further expansion of the mall, began. [59] [60] [61] 2022 saw also the inauguration of a new municipal market (Mercado da Pontinha); although technically located within Carnide, it is administered by Odivelas municipality. [62] [63]
In the late 2010s and early 2020s many projects have been laid out for Carnide, aiming at enhancing the living conditions of those already living in the parish, attract new inhabitants and better the infrastructures as a whole; one of the latest projects completed is Duo Building, a residential unit opened in 2023. [64]
Carnide, once a neglected parish, is now being revitalised also thanks to the contribution of numerous cultural associations located there including Natália Correia public library, [21] Boutique da Cultura, [21] Centro Cultural de Carnide, [65] Centro Cultural Franciscano, [66] Centro de Recursos DLBC Lisboa, [67] Clube Atlético e Cultural (CAC), [68] the Portuguese Federation of Automobilism and Karting, [21] Instituto para o Desenvolvimento Social, [21] Trokaki, [21] Teatro da Luz, [21] the Instituto Superior de Línguas e Administração library, [69] Casa do Artista (Apoiarte) [70] and the Portuguese Federation of Aeromodelism [21] amongst others.

Between 1864 and 1878 it belonged to the extinct municipality of Belém. The limits were set by Law n.º 56/2012, of November 8.
In 1890, little after Carnide was incorporated into Lisbon, the total population stood at 1,737. In 1970, 80 years later, the population had grown to 8,736, recording a 402.9% growth rate.
The parish experienced continued growth in 1980 Census (when many people coming from the former Portuguese colonies in Africa - the so called retornados - moved to Portugal) up to 2011. From 1970 to 2011 Carnide gained 14,580 people, recording a 166.9% growth rate. The 2012 Portuguese administrative reform meant that the population recorded in 2011 fell from 23,316 to 19,218 (17.6% of the parish population) since parts of the parish were incorporated into neighbouring Benfica or Lumiar and thus adjusting the estimate to the new parish's limits.
In the 2021 Portuguese Census was recorded a demographic loss. In particular, from 2011 to 2021 the parish lost 1,190 people, recording a loss of -6.19%.

In the parish of Carnide there are 718 residents who, as of 2021, were unemployed. Of these, 38.44% received a state-fund subsidy or pension (41.34% in Lisbon). [85] In 2021 the unemployment rate in the parish is slightly higher than the one recorded for Lisbon and for Portugal as a whole, standing at 8.63%. In the same year, Portugal as a whole had an unemployment rate of 8.13% that has progressively decreased to 6.1% in 2023. As the statistics dealing with unemployment at the parish level are available only every 10 years, the current (2023) unemployment rate in Carnide is unknown. [86] [87] Amongst youth aged 15–24 the unemployment rate in 2021 in the parish stood at 22.83%, 22.22% higher than in the rest of the country. [88]
On the other hand, in 2021 7,604 residents were employed, of which 79.68% were employees and 18.10% were independent workers. [89] Below is the table showing the employment rate per age group. The low share of people aged 20–24 employed is due to the fact that many are still in education (e.g. university) while the low proportion of those in employment aged 60–64 is due to many being early pensioners. [90]

Dealing with commuting, the residents of Carnide spent 22.57 minutes of daily commuting, slightly more than the average inhabitant of Lisbon. [91]
Dealing with overcrowding in the parish's households, 9.73% of the population lives in accommodations where they have less than 15 m2 per capita (8.71% for Lisbon and 5.65% in Portugal as a whole), while 37.89% live in houses with more than 40 m2 per capita (39.64% for Lisbon and 46.84% in Portugal as a whole). [92] There are 2,445 dwellings per km2 (3,200.5 for Lisbon and 64.9 in Portugal as a whole). [93]
57.9% of the population lives in owned dwellings as of 2021; this is higher than the value recorded for Lisbon (50.3%) but significantly lower than the one recorded for Portugal (70%). [94] The average height of a residential building in Carnide is 3.5 floors as of 2021 [95] and the average area of a dwelling stands at 95.59 m2 (with the average in Lisbon-city 93.07 m2 being and in Portugal 112.45 m2). [96]
The average monthly rent value of leased dwellings recorded in 2021 stood at €289.33, 38.55% lower than the Lisbon average in the same year (€470.87). [97] It is nonetheless important to notice that the value of the rents is quite low because of many contracts stipulated decades ago, with 54.94% (25.34% in Lisbon) of the dwellers paying less than €150/month [98] because of the rent-freezing system that was adopted in Portugal in the late XX century, allowing that many people, now mostly elders, don't have to pay high rents. [99] [100] [101] Due to the housing crisis and inflation, in 2023 the average rent for new contracts (frozen contracts aren't concerned) stood in fact at €14/m2 in Carnide, meaning that for the average 95.59 m2 dwelling are necessary around €1,338/month. [102] [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] [108]
Dealing with housing prices, it is interesting to remark that if the median price per m2 stood at €2,050 for a house sold in early 2016, this value had risen to €3,416/m2 in early 2021 and to €4,162/m2 in 2023, experiencing a growth of +103.02% in just 7 years. In the same period the growth of house priced per m2 in Lisbon as a whole was +117.6%, from €1,875/m2 to €4,080/m2. [109]
Of the 1,383 residential buildings listed in the parish, 9.62% were built before 1919, 36.30% from 1919 to 1960, 32.25% from 1961 to 1990, 15.33% from 1991 to 2000 and 6.51% after 2001. Of the buildings built before 1919 100% had 1 to 3 floors, while in buildings built between 1981 and 2010 the proportion of buildings with 6 stories or more is 49.82%. Interestingly, the newer and higher the building the higher the probability of it being served by an elevator. For homes built before 1946, 0% have access to an elevator as of 2021; this percentage ascends to 68.55% for buildings dating from 1981 to 2010. [110] Always with regard to amenities, 23.50% of the houses had access to air conditioning (20.98% in Lisbon), 69.39% to heating (69.62% in Lisbon) and 49.61% to a parking place (28.04% in Lisbon). [111] [112] [113]
As of 2021 there were 831 vacant dwelling in the parish. [114] Of the vacant dwellings, 297 are vacant for rental or with the purpose of being sold, while 534 are vacant for other reasons, often abandoned, awaiting their demolition or because a reason for conflict among heirs. [115] [116] [117] [118] [119] Moreover, as of 2023 39 apartments are registered as "Alojamento Local", meaning they have the license to be rent on platforms such as Booking.com or Airbnb. [120] [121]
In the parish were also recorded 50 homeless people, of which 48 (96%) were males. [122] The parish is thus actively promoting initiatives aiming at helping people in situation of permanent of temporal homelessness.
The neighborhood has many sports facilities, among them the Dr. Agostinho Lourenço Stadium , which hosts the neighborhood's main football team, Unidos de Lisboa.
In Carnide there is the seat of Hospital da Luz, one of the largest hospitals found in Lisbon. Hospital da Luz received the 2007 Valmor Prize for its technological innovation. Manuel Salgado is the architect responsible for the hospital project (made from a functional program developed by the Catalan Albert Pineda). [144] [145]
Carnide hosts several public gardens, often hosting playgrounds or public workout facilities. These include Jardim Bento Martins (with playground), [21] Jardim da Alameda Roentgen (with playground, skatepark and outdoor gym), [21] Jardim Teixeira Rebelo (or Jardim do Largo da Luz, hosting two little lakes), [21] Jardim Ferreira de Mira, Parque Poetas de Abril, Jardim Adão Barata, [146] and Parque Hortícola da Quinta das Carmelitas. [21]
In recent years there has been a constant investment towards public facilities such as children playgrounds, with many created alongside the development of the parish. [21]
