Abrantes
Abrantes is a municipality in Portugal on the right bank of the river Tagus, with a population of 41,560 inhabitants.
Castle of Abrantes
The city was originally established during the Celtic period as an Iberian settlement, about 300 B.C.. The name Abrantes comes from the Latin word "Aurantes" perhaps owing to the alluvial gold (aurum) found along the Tagus.
Roman mosaics, coins, the remains of an aqueduct, and other antiquities have been discovered in the neighborhood.
