Event details

Event Description

In this event we're going to take advantage of the day to go for a walk that will take us along 11 of the most emblematic viewpoints in Lisbon, this time unveiling some of the best panoramic views over the Tagus River and the eastern part of the city. We'll walk through streets, alleys, staircases and courtyards in search of each of these places, some real treasures that need to be remembered and rediscovered! Come along and find out much more about the city of Lisbon.

Monte Agudo viewpoint

What a magnificent image... You can see Lisbon as far as the eye can see! Next to us is a map of the city painted on tiles to feed the curiosity of those investigating the landscape.

We're beyond the northern edge of Santo André Hill, on the slope of the old Vale de Arroios, now Avenida Almirante Reis, a little below the Senhora do Monte viewpoint on our left...

The perspective is extremely long and all-encompassing, but it's difficult to spot specific points in the landscape because the urban rooftops are all repeated at the same height and very close together. The low height of this viewpoint doesn't help either...

Viewpoint of Our Lady of Porciúncula

The Miradouro da Nossa Senhora da Porciúncula, so called because it is located in the courtyard of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Porciúncula - also known as the Parish Church of Santa Engrácia - doesn't seem to have been built for the purpose of a belvedere but, if fortunate, it is situated on somewhat elevated ground overlooking the River Tagus.

Its elevation doesn't allow us to see more than the River Tagus and some of the nearby roofs along the riverside area of the parish of São Vicente de Fora.

Event details

Event Description

In this event, we're going to take advantage of the morning to go on a walk that will take us up several staircases totalling 2,500 steps, in a real rollercoaster exercise that will take us past places of undeniable interest such as viewpoints, squares, alleys, courtyards, some of them real hidden treasures. Naturally, we'll take advantage of the opportunity to visit some of these places and learn about their culture over the course of more than 7 kilometres. Come along and find out much more about the city of Lisbon.

Casa dos Bicos

The history of Casa dos Bicos begins in 1523, at the behest of Brás de Albuquerque, the natural son of the second governor of Portuguese India, Afonso de Albuquerque. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance and the palaces he found in Bologna at the time, he had a palace built to his taste. But symmetry in the distribution of doors and windows was forgotten. The end result is a house that looks like a portal to an enchanted kingdom.

Church of São Roque

In the 16th century, the site where the church stands was isolated, outside the city walls, and so it was chosen as the cemetery where plague victims were buried. In 1506, a chapel was built here dedicated to St Roque, the patron saint of plague victims. The Brotherhood of São Roque was established, with its own statutes and supported by the royal house, the nobility and the people. In 1553, the Society of Jesus took over the site and had the church we see today built, with the obligation to keep the Chapel of St Roque inside.

Torel Garden

The name comes from a family, probably of Dutch origin, who lived there. In 1886, Manuel de Castro Guimarães had a mansion built with a garden on the hillside, to a design by José Luís Monteiro. The palace was sold to the State in 1927 to house the Criminal Investigation Police, and the garden was given to Lisbon City Council in exchange for the construction of an extension to the palace for use by the police.
