The Beja Air Base, located in the Parish of São Brissos, is an air base of the Portuguese Air Force, located a few kilometers from the city of Beja. The base was activated in 1967, housing, almost from the outset, units of instruction of the German Air Force, stationed there under a bilateral agreement between Portugal and Germany. The occupied area of this Air Base makes it the largest air base in Europe and one of the largest in the world.
