In her honour, the name of the town (then known by its Latin name '' Scalabis'') would later be changed to ''Sancta Irene'', from which ''Santarém'' would eventually be derived. The foundation of the city is attributed to the Romans, who occupied the region in the 2nd century BC and named the city '' Scalabis''. During the Roman period Scalabis was an important commercial post in the mid-Tagus region and was the administrative capital of one of the regions (''Conventus Scalabitanus'') of

). In 460, the Visigoths, led by Sunerico, conquered the city and expelled the Alans. It was probably in the late period of Visigoth domination when the city took a new name after the local martyr Santa Irene, whose remains were credited to have been found near the Tagus. In any case, when the city was taken in the 8th century by the Arabs, they named it ''Shantarin'', as a proof that the old Roman name had already been forgotten. Under the rule of the Arabs the city became an important cultural centre. Important Arab personalities born in Santarém include the poet and historian Ibn Bassam (died 1147) and the poet Ibn Sara (1043–1123). The period of Arabic domination was finished in 1147 by the first

After the reconquest of Santarém, the city was frequently visited by the successive monarchs and many feudal parliaments ('' Cortes'') were held in Santarém. King Fernando I, in particular, was very fond of the city and chose to be buried in the Convent of Saint Francis (''Convento de São Francisco''). His tomb is now in the Carmo Museum in Lisbon. The city was one of the most important in medieval Portugal, as attested by its large number of monasteries and its royal palace (no longer in existence but was located where the cathedral currently stands). There are still enough examples of Gothic buildings in the city for it to be known as the "Capital of the Portuguese Gothic".
