Wikipedia: Paço de Arcos is a civil parish in Oeiras, Portugal. Its name comes from the Palace of the Arches located at the entrance to the village, where, legend has it, king D. Manuel I of Portugal watched Vasco da Gama's caravels leave for India. Nowadays, the Portuguese maritime academy - Escola Náutica Infante D. Henrique - is based there.
