It is the only municipality in the entire Alentejo that contains 2 cities within its term (Santiago and Santo André). It also has three villages (Cercal, Alvalade and Ermidas-Sado). history: Its name derives from The Mooring Governor Kassim and the Order of Santiago. Endorsed in a strategic geographical location, human populations have sought this region since remote times to establish itself. The excavations carried out in the Old Castle, where the Roman ruins of Miróbriga are located, show that the region has been inhabited since prehistory. The ruins of Miróbriga represent one of the most striking traces of the occupation of the Romans in southwestern Portugal. It was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1940. The Roman city stretches for more than 2 km, featuring ruins of housing buildings, paved streets, a racetrack, a bathing, a bridge and a forum. With Roman colonization, it developed into the commercial area around the forum. The termes, among the best preserved in Portugal. Relatively close to the terme, there is a bridge with a single semicircular arch. The hippodrome is the only fully known in Portuga and is located farther from the center. It was around 712 and already after the decline of Miróbriga that the Moors reached the territory, building the castle on the hill in front; it is even thought that the name Kassem will be linked to the Mooring villager. The Moorish occupation lasted until the 19th century. XII and many battles for the reconquest took place in the territory until, in 1217, he returned definitively to the possession of Christians, and D. Afonso II confirmed the donation of his father to the Order of Skewers. economy: In the municipality, activities related to the primary sector predominate, followed by secondary and tertiary activities.
