What Lumiar means
In old Portuguese "lumiar" is a verb: to light up, to give light. That is why the word shows up elsewhere, such as the Lumiar neighbourhood in Lisbon and Paço do Lumiar municipality in Maranhão, neither related to this district.
Music in the village
The link with music lives on at the square bandstand, stage for free shows such as the 137th anniversary in October 2026. To see the rest of the village, start with the Lumiar guide or things to do. The Hotel Lumiar, sharing the name of the song and the place, sits on the road by the square.
