Juncal is a civil parish in the municipality of Porto de Mós, Portugal, with an area of 26,64 km²[1] and population of 3,197 (2021).

It is also because of the abundance of this plant that one of the most important craft activities was the manufacture of reed baskets and very simple hand-looms.

Ceramic baskets and ancient coins discovered in the locality of Andam, a town near by, have proven the presence of Roman civilisations in this area.

The old chapel located in S. Miguel do Peral gradually fell down, remaining now only the main chapel of the old temple, which is still used once a year, for the Monday mass during the festivities of S. Miguel, during the 3rd weekend of August.

On top, there is a "crown" with four silver towers and, at the bottom, a white band with the legend "JUNCAL-PORTO DE MÓS".
