Camarate ((:kɐmɐˈɾatɨ)) is a former civil parish in the municipality of Loures, Lisbon District, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Camarate, Unhos e Apelação. With a population of 23,000 inhabitants in 2001, the parish of Camarate extends into an area of 5.52 km². ==History== The probable origin of the local place name came from the historical cultivation of vineyards with a caste of grape called ''Camarate''. A Matriz Church was founded by the Bishop of Lisbon, Agapito Colona, in the 14th century, and later amplified and expanded.〔 During the Portuguese Interregnum, the estate of Camarate, then property of the Jew David Negro, administrator of the Royal Customhouses of King Ferdinand I of León and Castile, was confiscated and delivered into the hands of Nuno Álvares Pereira, who lived there with his mother until joining the Carmelite Order.〔 While there, the knight founded and consecrated a chapel to ''Nossa Senhora do Socorro'', which he later offered, along with the estate, to the Carmelites, who founded a convent on the site.〔 Much later, under Nuno Álvares Pereira stewardship, Camarate would be integrated (along with other neighbouring lands) into the patrimony of the House of Braganza.〔 The parish of Camarate separated from the administration of Sacavém across a foral issued by King Manuel I of Portugal, dated 1 May 1511.〔 After the 17th century, the region became a place of leisure sought after by the Lisboeta nobility.〔 The region was famous for its agricultural, characterized by estates that supported the fiscal production of the parish until the 20th century.〔 It was part of Lisbon (until 1852), then Santa Maria dos Olivais (between 1852 and 1886). Later, it was re-annexed to Lisbon between 1886 and 1895, before being integrated into the municipality of Loures.〔 On 4 June 1996, the community was elevated to the status of ''vila'' ((英語:town)) by decree of the Assembly of the Republic.〔 After the 20th century, and owing to industrial development in the neighbouring parishes, the parish experienced a growth in population, accompanied by a comparable growth in illegal construction.〔 Sadly, Camarate became infamous for the aircraft accident that befell Portuguese Social Democratic Prime Minister Francisco Sá Carneiro, his wife, and the Christian Democratic Defense Minister Adelino Amaro da Costa, on the evening of 4 December 1980.〔 A few hours before the presidential elections, the aircraft was en route to Porto, when it crashed in the parish.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camarate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
