Setubal
or ST. UBES, a seaport of Portugal; on the N. side of the Bay of Setubal; 17 miles S. E. of Lisbon. The harbor is protected by five forts. The town owes its importance chiefly to its trade in wine, sea-salt, and oranges, though fishing is carried on with considerable activity. Setubal is the old Roman Cetobriga. In 1755 it suffered severely from the earthquake that devastated Lisbon. Pilgrimages are made to the monastery of Arrabida, with its neighboring stalactite cave. The poet Bocage was born in Setubal. Pop. about 30,000.
