This neighbourhood is located in the north-western part of Lisbon near the municipal boundary and adjacent to areas such as Carnide and São Domingos de Benfica. It developed mainly during the 20th century and combines older village-like areas with larger residential expansions.

The built environment consists primarily of mid-rise apartment buildings, planned housing estates, and local commercial streets. The area includes neighbourhood retail, schools, and sports facilities, while larger shopping centres are located nearby. Public transport is provided mainly by bus routes and suburban rail connections, with road access via major routes linking the district to the rest of the city.
