The parish of Ajuda, established in 1551, is located between Belém beach and the Monsanto mountain range.
Legend has it that a local shepherd had an apparition of the Virgin. The Chapel of Our Lady of Ajuda was then built.
The small sanctuary soon gave way to a larger church. The number of pilgrims grew and the highest members of civil and royal society joined the movement.
The nobility settled in the area to better worship the Virgin, making Ajuda a residential area for the wealthy.
In 1768, the Marquis of Pombal established the Botanical Garden in the Horta da Quinta de Cima. It was also around this time, between 1766 and 1787, that Pina Manique ordered the construction of the Ajuda Cemetery, where the servants of the Royal Household were buried. The Royal Barraca, which had once been the residence of the royal family, was replaced by an enormous palace - the Palácio Nacional da Ajuda. Construction work began in 1795, but had to be interrupted due to the French invasions, which forced the royal family to flee to Brazil. It was completed in the mid-19th century and was the residence of King Carlos.
The parish of Ajuda has been renovated with constant improvements to its architecture and public spaces. It has become a "premium" area of the Portuguese capital.
