For its importance, social repercussions, cultural and economic  reasons the complex system of defensive lines of Torres Vedras highlights itself, which allowed to win the Napoleonic troops when the invasions occurred. Actually, it was on the beaches nearby (Porto Novo, Alcabrichel) that landed the British ships which have strengthened and helped the Portuguese troops in battles.

The Romans elected the fertile valleys of Torres Vedras to install themselves in numerous country houses and cultivate the vines. However the creation of the county comes from the reign of the 1st King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques after the Christian reconquest. It was in this city that King John II met in 1413 with its Council to decide the conquest of the Ceuta city from the Moors.
