Top 5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Castelo, Alfama & Mouraria, Central Portugal

March 15, 2022 Renato Branum

The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

Torre Da Igreja Do Castelo de Sao Jorge

Throughout the years, this site was closed and neglected, having suffered a fast degradation process, that reached both its structure and its artistic furnishing. As a result of the parish’s resilience, whilst having the support of some individuals, it was possible to commence a preservation project for this valuable heritage, with its roof and exterior walls being improved during the process; some procedures were also carried out for the decorative painting of the church’s interior. With the increasing flow of tourism, the idea of opening the church on a permanent basis then emerged, as well as the intention to make it possible to visit the tower and, from that site, all who visit us can discover the most enchanting view of Lisbon over the Tejo's River. With your visit you will contribute to the maintenance of the now existing jobs, whilst ensuring the protection and appreciation of this wonderful building of the 18th century.
