In the times of Al-Andalus, the city was known as ''Shaṭūbar'' (Andalusian Arabic: {{lang|xaa|شَطُوبَر}} {{IPA|ar|ʃeˈtˤuːbɑr|}}), after the old pre-Roman name of ''Caetobriga''. In the 17th century, the port was called ''Saint Ubes'' in English,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Wedgwood|first=Hensleigh|author-link=Hensleigh Wedgwood|title=On False Etymologies|journal=Transactions of the Philological Society|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3924121;view=1up;seq=77|year=1855|issue=6|pages=67}}</ref> and ''Saint-Yves'' in French.

The municipal holiday is 15 September, which marks the date in 1765 when Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage was born at three o'clock in the afternoon. However, by that time Setúbal was a village, since only in April 1860 King Pedro V of Portugal officially recognised Setúbal as a city.

==Geography== thumb|left|Setúbal bay area The city of Setúbal is located on the northern bank of the Sado River estuary, approximately {{convert|48|km|0|abbr=off}} south of Portugal's capital, Lisbon. It is also the seat of the Setúbal District and formerly in the historic Estremadura Province.

In the beginning of the 20th century, Setúbal was the most important center of Portugal's fishing industry, particularly specializing in processing and exporting sardines. None of the many factories then created are operating today. However, the existing maritime ports, either traditional, commercial and the new marines, keep the city's links to the ocean and water well alive and vibrant. Tourism, based on the beautiful natural conditions plus excellent hotels, resorts and infrastructures, is one of the city's most appreciated resources, due to its interconnection with the Sado River on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on another, having a coast line with both. The city is also connected with the nearby coast of the Arrábida hills natural park - which offers an unspoiled nature and beautiful beaches to the Atlantic Ocean. A dolphin colony inhabits the Sado River. Across the river on the south bank lies the peninsula of Tróia, a place with vast white/golden sand beaches where several luxury hotels and resorts were recently built. The Tróia peninsula can be sighted from the city, across the river. Albarquel, Figueirinha, Galápos, Galapinhos, Creiro and Portinho da Arrábida are some of the city's many beaches, located in the north bank of the estuary, at the very beginning of the Arrábida hills.

==History== {{see also|Timeline of Setúbal}}{{Expand section|date=March 2026|small=no}} In antiquity the city was known as Cetobriga, a Turdetani settlement that came under Roman control in the province of Lusitania.

==Culture== thumb|Castelo de São Filipe The main historical monument of the city of Setúbal is the Monastery of Jesus, which is a 15th- and 16th-century church that represents one of the first buildings in the Portuguese late Gothic style known as Manueline.

It was in this building where the first treaty that divided the world between two powers was signed by King John II, nicknamed the perfect prince.

The Roman Catholic Church has a diocese, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Setúbal, headquartered in the city, with its see (seat of the bishop) at the Our Lady of Grace Cathedral, Setúbal, famous for its Mannerist façade.

Also of interest are the São Julião Church, also with Manueline portals. The ''Castelo de São Filipe'', is a 16th- and 17th-century fortress on the north bank of the Sado river, overseeing the city. The fortress was converted into a luxury hotel (''pousada'').

The fortress ordered to be built by King Sebastian is wrongly attributed to King Philip I. Filippo Terzi had been hired in 1575 by Sebastian precisely to protect and reinforce the Portuguese coast against piracy that was ravaging the entire Mediterranean and Atlantic.{{Citation needed|date=April 2026}}
