About
Medieval neighborhood with winding alleys, birthplace of fado, and Lisbon's historic heart.
This medieval quarter retains its maze of cobbled lanes and narrow staircases. Spared by the 1755 earthquake, it offers a glimpse of old Lisbon. Small squares, traditional azulejo tiles, and local restaurants give the district its authentic character.
