GPS: N 39.01672; W 9.15179

Sobral de Monte Agraço is a Portuguese town in the District of Lisbon, in the Center and West sub-regions, with about 2 900 inhabitants.
It is the seat of a small municipality with 52.10 km² in area and 10 156 inhabitants (2011), subdivided into 3 parishes. The municipality is limited to the north by the municipality of Torres Vedras, to the northeast by Alenquer, to the east and southeast by Arruda dos Vinhos and to the southwest and west by Mafra.
During the Peninsular War (French Invasions), Sobral de Monte Agraço was integrated into the defense system called Lines of Torres. In October 1810, the French Army headed by André Massena approached the Lines of Torres, verifying that the Portuguese had submitted the area, in front of the same Lines of Torres, to a policy of burnt land. After a skirmish in Sobral de Monte Agraço, on the 14th of October, the French realized that they could not go any further. British military historian Charles Omam wrote that "at dawn that morning on the 14th of October, in Sobral de Monte Agraço, the Napoleonic tide reached its highest point".
