Almoçageme
About
Almoçageme is a village on the Portuguese municipality of Sintra and in the Freguesia of Colares.
The name Almoçageme is obviously Arab in origin – the Iberian peninsula is packed with Muslim toponyms that are a legacy of the five hundred years the Moors stayed over. One possible root is from al-masjid or al-mesijide, meaning “the mosque” – although there are no testimonies of one having been around.
