Overview
Hear the stories that helped shape the city as we see it today. From its birth, over the centuries, discover the roots of this emblematic city.
I'm going to tell you about great kings, how they and intrepid people prospered to build a huge empire and reconquered our independence from Spain in one of Portugal's most dramatic episodes.
How a massacre occurred in 1506 in which more than 4000 Jews were coldly killed, near Rossio.
I will tell you about the earthquake of 1755 and its aftermath.
The 40 years dictatorship of Antonio de Salazar and the revolucion of the nails.
And the conquest of the castle of São Jorge from the Moors in the 13st century.
Details of points of interest:
- We are going to start the tour in the Praça dos Restauradores (blue line of the metro) near the oblisquo.
- We continue for the Rossio square
- Praça da Figueira and Largo do Carmo.
- The Santa Justa Elevator (just see it, not use it)
- We continue to Baixa do Chiado and Praça do Comercio
- And we end up near the Castelo de S. Jorge after getting to know a little bit about Alfama
