Event details

Event Description

Do you know what Lisbon looked like when the Romans arrived here in 137 BC? How was the Roman city of Olisipo organised on the ground? What were its most emblematic buildings? Come with us on this walk and find out not only the answer to these questions, but also other curious aspects of the Roman presence in Lisbon.

The walk follows paths of great historical and heritage interest, starting in the garden of Praça D. Luís I, heading towards Cais do Sodré and from there, by the Tagus, to Praça do Comércio. The route will then continue along the riverside area of the Roman city of Olisipo, then up through the heart of Alfama to Portas do Sol. This is followed by a circuit around the Castle hill, stopping off at some of the most significant sites of the Roman presence in Lisbon. After reaching the Lisbon Cathedral area, rich in various testimonies from Roman times, the walk will continue to the Praça da Figueira and Praça do Rossio areas, where the Necropolis and the Roman Circus will be discussed. On the way back to the starting point of the walk, we'll pass by the Archaeological Centre of Rua dos Correeiros and the Cryptoporticus of Rua da Conceição. A little surprise is in store for the end.

Throughout the walk, which does not include visits to the museum sites, there will be brief presentations of the most significant sites, also contextualising their importance within the functioning and urban organisation of the Roman city. Another event not to be missed!
