Lisbon, the capital of Portugal since it's conquest from the Moors in 1147, is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Boasting springtime temperatures during the winter and cool summers freshened by a breeze blowing in from the Atlantic, it is a city which fascinates and draws tourists in. Full of mystery and enchantment it awakens the senses with beauty of its old palaces, narrow streets, and historic buildings.

Interesting Sites

Marqués de Pombal Square

The Marqués de Pombal Square is located between the Liberty Avenue and Eduardo VII garden. In the center of this square rises the splendid monument to Pombal, the man who was in charge of Lisbon's reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. A beautiful monument where the marquis stands on top of the column with his hand on a lion (symbol of power).

Padrao dos Descobrimentos

The Monument to the Discoveries is a 52m high slab of concrete, located next to the River Tagus in the Belém district of Lisbon. It was built in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.

The monument is carved into the shape of the prow of a ship in which stands a statue of Henry the Navigator (looking out over the river), as well as statues of various explorers, cartographers, artists and missionaries. Also included is a statue of Luís de Camoes, the poet and recorder of the discoveries, whose tomb is in the nearby Jerónimo's Monastery.

Belém Tower

Belém Tower was built in the Age of the Discoveries (when defending the city was of paramont importance) in tribute to the patron saint of the city, Saint Vicente. Built between 1515 and 1520, the Manueline-style tower is Portugal's classic landmark and often serves as a symbol of the country and it stands on or near the spot where the caravels once set out across the sea. In order to enhance Lisbon´s defense, King Joao II drew up a plan that consisted of forming a three-fortress-defense on the Tagus´s estuary.

Sao Jorge Castle

Locals speak of Sao Jorge Castle as the cradle of their city, and it might have been where the Portuguese capital began. It's occupation is believed to have predated the Romans -- the hilltop was used as a fortress to guard the Tagus and its settlement below. Beginning in the 5th century A.D., the site was a visigothic fortification; it fell to the Saracens in the early 8th century. Many of the existing walls were built during the centuries of Moorish domination. The Moors held power until 1147, the year Alfonso Henríques chased them out and extended his kingdom south.
