Muhammad al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad (1040-1095) was one of the most important personalities of his time and was appointed governor of Silves by his father at the age of 12. He promoted the sciences and arts. The square was named after him in his honor.

Praça Al-Mutamid is an atmospheric square in Silves, named after Al-Muʿtamid ibn ʿAbbād, a famous Moorish poet and ruler from the 11th century who lived in Silves for a time when it was part of Islamic Al-Andalus.
