Sesimbra is a municipality in the Setúbal District, situated at the foothills of the Serra da Arrábida, a mountain range between Setúbal and Sesimbra. Owing to its strategic location on Setúbal Bay, near the mouth of the Sado River and its natural harbour, Sesimbra has long been an important fishing town - Wikipedia
Note: Some specimens of crystallized gypsum attributed to Sesimbra actually originate from the north bank of the Tagus River. Evidence suggests that soil and debris from the excavation works for the new Lisbon subway lines, carried out in the early 2000s, were transported to quarries in the Sesimbra area.
