Penha de França (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpɐɲɐ ðɨ ˈfɾɐ̃sɐ]) is a freguesia (civil parish) and district of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Located in the historic center of Lisbon, Penha de França is east of São Vicente, south of Arroios and Areeiro, and west of Beato. The population in 2011 was 27,967,^[1]

The freguesia of Penha de França was created on April 13, 1918.

In 1959 its area was reduced in order to create the parishes of Alto do Pina and São João.

With the 2012 Administrative Reform, the latter merged with Penha de França and the new and larger parish kept its name.^[2]
