History of the Quinta
Just after the twelfth century, the Quinta was governed by the Knights Templar having become a royal home in the reign of King Dinis.
From 1586, Brites Brandoa, patron of the Convent of Saint Anthony of Lourinhã lodged here on the invitation of Francisco de Brito, then squire of Moita Longa as well as founder and first benefactor of Lourinhã’s Holy House of Mercy.
In 1650, the heir of the Quinta da Moita Longa was installed by the Right Reverend Bishop João Delgado Ferreira, founder of the Overseas Office, which was created by King Joao IV after the Restoration of 1640.
In 1808, Portuguese-British troops under the command of Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington), were based in Moita Longa before the historic Battle of Vimeiro and in 1901, the Quinta da Moita Longa was awarded first prize in the Paris Universal Wine Exhibition. more...
