History
Campolide was the site of a major battle on 5 September 1833, when the forces of Dom Miguel attacked those of Dom Pedro, as Pedro attempted to wrest back control of Portugal from his brother.[3]
Campolide was made a freguesia of Lisbon on February 7, 1959.
On 7 August 2008, two Brazilian robbers robbed a Banco Espírito Santo branch kidnapping six hostages, including the bank manager. This hostage hijacking ended with the intervention of the special forces of Portuguese police.
