Sacavem is more than a Lisbon suburb — it had its own Roman bridge, which remained in use until the 17th century. The coat of arms still depicts it. A new river walk has opened here along the Tejo, bypassing the old route through Alpriate and providing a much more pleasant path north. Services are available in the town centre, slightly off the camino.
Not to be confused as merely a suburb of Lisbon, the Sacavém coat of arms depicts a Roman bridge for good reason; the one they built here remained in use until the 17th century.
