Seixal is a city in Portugal across the river from Lisbon. It is located in the district of Setúbal and next to the Rio Judeu ("Jew River"), the name given to a lagoon formed by the Tagus river.
The name "Seixal" comes from a type of smooth stone (seixo) that is found in rivers, and the city is named after these stones. The city was an important vacation resort for aristocracy from nearby Lisbon during the 1700s.
