21st CENTURY LISBON

Lisbon is the perfect Portugal's synthesis. None other city expresses with so much naturalness the people's spirit. It is the big village where the Portuguese of the other places work and mix with a population of the most different colours and sources.
Raided by northern, North Africa and Asiatic peoples, Lisbon won out the wisdom of social intercourse and brotherhood. Off her shores set off the caravels to the discovery of love in unknown lands, hidden by the sea and legends of fear and terror. These challenges excite the Portuguese who is a lamb by love but an enraged and foolhardy lion when hurt.
Through the centuries, Lisbon conquered, little by little, the lands irrigated by the Tejo[xxi]' firths that, lazy, lived, casting ashore its waters through the Baixa [xxii]and Martim Moniz.
In 1147, when of the conquest, the river Valverde was yet the fertilizer of the fields that bordered it. All these arms of water will practically disappear with the Earthquake. Maria I ended for ordering the covering with earth of a whole beach in order to raise there a palace. Still today, the alleys with the names of Boqueirões (v. Boqueirão da Galé) recall us the places through where the lines of water headed towards the sea.
In 1147, Lisbon became Portuguese; in 1555, it was promoted to capital of the kingdom. In 1500, it was already the capital of a fabulous Empire spread through the vast territories of Africa, Brazil, Indies, and Oceania. In 1580, the Spanish who revindicated succession rights occupied it. In 1600, expelled the unwanted relative, rises the hope again. In 1725, it took up again its position of head of a powerful and rich Empire.
Just as in the 16th and 18 the centuries, Lisbon remains a land of manifold languages.
She is situated on the right bank of the river Tagus, expatiate upon it, receives the zephyrs, from its neighbour, the sea, and forms a huge bay, where floating cities and a natural port fit in.
Lisbon is not only river, work or monumentality; it is relaxation, anti-stress, it is natural knowledge, chivalrous and healthy laugher, fruit of the open and truthful Portuguese temperament and also of the sweet clime which made them amiable, naive and sociable. Cold days don't go beyond an utmost of twenty days; therefore the good spirits and the life relish, are some of their main characteristics.
The temperature average draw near the 18 degrees.
When you reach Lisbon, you previously know where to kip and an idea of what you desire visit. If you have not, don't worry. It is well known that the unforeseen is a peculiarity of the Portuguese: They are specialists in coordinate fast solutions for the most difficult and complex problems.
The Serviços de Turismo[xxiii] have a listing with the most different suggestions for your holiday.
As far as we are concerned, and about this matter, we suggest a list of hotels, residential hotels, and guest houses at the most different charges.
I'll give you the telephone numbers, which will answer to all your questions. In Palácio Foz[xxiv], at Restauradores, tels. 2l 346 38 58; 213463314 and are available from 9 a.m. to 20 p. m. Whether these fail, you'll have the green number 800 296 296. At the Airport, tel. 218494323 and 218493689, available from 6 a. m. to 14 p. m. You have the ICEP (Investimento, Comércio e Turismo de Portugal[xxv], tel. 217930103 Fax 2179410826) yet. The Deaf Population has an Interpreter Service available – Campo Grande, 25 – tel. 21 798 80 00.


TRIPS AT HALF PRICE

I
n order to travel by bus, tram, or lift, I recommend you buying some tickets at Carris kiosks, tobacconists, or other little shops. Ask. You get them at half price than if you buy them on the means of transport. On the Metro[xxvi], the ten trips tickets are 20% cheaper. However, if your choice falls on a Lisbon Card,[xxvii] you are free of travelling boundless on the Carris[xxviii] means of transport and on the Metro[xxix], to enter 25 museums, and have 10 to 50 % reduction at other cultural places. You get it at the posto de Turismo dos Restauradores – Palácio Foz [xxx] - tel.. 213463314, at the Tourism kiosks of Rua Augusta[xxxi], Castelo de S. Jorge[xxxii], Museu de Arte Antiga[xxxiii] or at Mosteiro dos Jerónimos[xxxiv]. There is a day-ticket for Bus, Lift, and Tram.
If you come up against any problem, ask someone. The Portuguese are always pleased when they can help foreigners, even Portuguese. Foreigner for the Portuguese is a king.
I'll give you a petty example: The transport services, usually, should be complementary to one another in a limited area, i.e. they should specify as to reach the wanted place using the means nearer to one another, but they didn't and they often do not know his own transports stop zone. If this is difficult for an aboriginal, for a foreigner grow thorny. There is nothing else to do but ask around. Confirm at all times.
Whether you are in a hurry and want visit or go to any institution, which is said it was closed under repairs, I advise you to telephone confirming that all is O.K. I tell you why. When it is said that this or that organism are closed for the time being, in Portuguese that can mean a year, a decade or any centuries. A lot of Portuguese are very fond of that but I am sure that the foreigner does not like it at all...
On public transports and enclosed spaces, smoke is forbidden. At restaurants, only people of low condition or addict to it do that.
The streets are more and more clean, but there are many ignorant people throwing papers to the ground, blotting walls and public vehicles.
The horns noise is heard yet. They are the chauffeurs, the drivers of lower condition who exercise this method to attract attentions over their frustrations.


PORTUGUESE ECCENTRICITIES

T
hough they do not seem, Portuguese are bashful and several times unable of taking trivial attitudes, they think nevertheless less fitting. It is what we call exaggerating sense critic and a huge fright of becoming ridiculous; however, when they have university grades they are fond to be treated by doctor. It is another complex which does not hurt anybody and that will go by with time.
Portuguese men and women that dazzled and continue dazzling the world had not special courses. They have had and have life wisdom. I am going to bring up any of them: Gil Vicente, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Camões, Bocage, Florbela Espanca, Alexandre Herculano, Fernando Pessoa, José Saramago.
The men and Portuguese women are very kind and affectionate. Now and again tourist women feel a certain trouble, as they are not accustomed to such courtesy in their own lands, where men think mainly in working or in a small merrymaking with friends, and she avoid speaking with unknowns.
Lisbon is the pattern of the Portuguese home symbolised in the fado[xxxv] : "É uma casa portuguesa concerteza... é concerteza uma casa portuguesa..."[xxxvi] It comes then the familiar connection with the football clubs: The Sporting, the Benfica and the Porto. To be a fan of one of this clubs is so far as to be a blood familiar, or more and, even whether the members of the clubs have never met, it is enough to bring up they are fans of Benfica, Sporting or Porto for quite a few years to grow up a unyielding and long-lasting friendship. The link to Porto, Sporting or Benfica, is for all life. Whether they lose or not, the supporters remain faithful till death. A Portuguese can change his party or religion. In what respects the club, nobody recalls the existence of turncoats.
I put down a suggestion: In Lisbon, you never should keep a lot of money in your wallet and avoid crowds and noise. The swindlers operate in groups of three. One of them places himself in front of the victim and the others help him in his "work." Sometimes, one of them simulates to lose a coin in order to distract the audience. Be careful. We don't want to grow in you a bad idea of the Lisbonians, though these situations are frequents in every countries all over the world. You should not practice the charity too. The Lisbon Town Hall and the Government have a good social support service for those who are lacking in living means. Only those who desire to live by theirs wits barely resort to it. There are shelter houses for provisional staying, free meals, and also gratis shower-rooms. Please, do not feed vices. Don't promote the temptation.
Lisbon is the safest city in Europe where it is normal to find a Minister or the Lord Mayor without any concern of bodyguard.
Only a remark plus: Lisbon is a very ancient town, which, fortunately did not suffered the war; on account of that, the streets can, sometimes, seem scantily clean , in spite of the Municipal Services uneasiness. This is not only for the reason that the streets and buildings are antique but also to the rain shortage, so copious in northern lands, granting them, to all appearances, the impression of being so clean as a whistle, that hear is very difficult to preserve, albeit the day after day washing of the streets.
The first raindrops cheerfulness is magisterially expressed in the beautiful poem of João Soares and published by the Le Cri editions in the book "Matin de pluie – septembre- à Lisbonne".[xxxvii]
Lisbonne
Les premières gouttes de pluie effacent la brume du réveil matinal.
Matin de septembre.
La ville renaît de la nuit dans l'enchantement de tous ses matins.
Auquel s'ajoute l'odeur de la pluie
Dans les rues et la terre,
La lumière, la couleur, les sons, les odeurs
Avivés par la pluie.
Dans cette ville magique,
De gens multiples,
De pierres, terres,
Maisons et bateaux
Lisbonne, Lisbonne
Lisboa[xxxviii]
The Lord Mayor describes with the farthest sensibility, all this "magic city" charisma as soon as it receives the first drops of water. Everybody understands. He lives, minute to minute, the anxieties of the city he rules.
Lisbon resembles an amphitheatre with a lot of galleries and many viewpoints from were monuments are in parade and sounds of a healthy and still city are heard, that links the 12th century habits and traditions to the ultra sophisticated 21th century. Everything lives together in a time that passes quickly and walks itself peacefully through Alfama[xxxix], Castelo,[xl], Mouraria,[xli] Madragoa as in the Cruzaders and Arabs period.
The genuine past centuries houses are to be found hear. In the other European capitals, bombs ravaging buildings and consciences have destroyed them. For a long time, the Portuguese have understood they are just irrelevant fruits of the earth changed in people. Lisbon is the city where pleasure, culture, bliss, and safety connect in a fabulous example of fraternity.
In Lisbon, nobody gets tired. You go up by elevator, stroll by bus, tram car or taxi through the surrounding and cosy hills and walk through the stone-paved ways, lanes and stop at the gardens, restaurants, little bars or at the little taverns to relax and relish the Portuguese food.
Another example: Suppose you are in Rua da Prata[xlii] or Rua Augusta[xliii] or Rua do Ouro[xliv] and you want to go from Baixa[xlv] to Bairro Alto.[xlvi] On your left or on your right you have a transversal, Rua Vitória,[xlvii] you will get on the "tube[xlviii]" and go on the escalator as far as Chiado, one of the smartest zones of Lisbon. The Bairro Alto[xlix] is over there in two minutes walking.
Another proposal: Never fix yourself in a single restaurant. Risking a disillusion is preferable to loosing the diverse aromas and surprises of diversity. In the variety, it is found, without a shadow of doubt, the charm, and the sublime pleasure.
Lisbon was the capital of an Empire whose king carried, by right, the title of: Senhor de Portugal e dos Algarves,[l] D'Aquém e D'Além Mar em África,[li] do Comércio,[lii] e da Navegação[liii] da Etiópia, da Arábia, Pérsia e Índia.[liv] In all these places, we carried out the adventure of love, trade, and nostalgia. From there, we left and carried about the soul, which make the Portuguese the most consensual people of the world.
The city is divided by areas. You'll choose the one better suits you. If you don't succeed, ask somebody. Ask, not one, but two, three times. Make sure yourself of walking on the desired track. If the worst comes the worst, you must call the organism already suitable in the previous pages.

PARQUE EDUARDO VII[lv]
TERREIRO DO PAÇO[lvi]

F
rom the top of this well arranged and beautiful Park you get a glimpse of Marquês[lvii], Avenida da Liberdade[lviii] with his 1500 meters length and 90 width, Restauradores[lix], Baixa[lx], and, at last, kissing the Praça do Comércio[lxi], also called Terreiro do Paço[lxii], the Tagus.[lxiii] At the Northwest side of the Park you have the Estufa Fria[lxiv] where the fountains, the lakes, the waterfalls, the grottos, the Estufa Quente,[lxv] and the Doce[lxvi] shelter and settle exotic and rare plants, arrived from the world over.
In the lakes, besides the fish, take advantage of the waters or of the margins, an immense variety of birds, some of which travel the 26 hectares of the Park to exercise the flight and to fill of tenderness who there walk.
It has esplanades, by the lake and a playground where the time suspends its flight.
The park has the tel. 2133882278. It is served by the buses Nos. 1, 2, 12, 20, 22, 31, 38, 41, 46, 49. The Metro[lxvii] has the following stations: Marquês de Pombal and Parque.

ESTÁTUA DO MARQUÊS[lxviii]

G
oing out of the Park you'll find Rotunda[lxix], ie, Praça Marquês de Pombal.[lxx] Pedestal and statue reach 36 meter high. The Marquês,[lxxi] Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (16699-1782), has been the king's D. José I[lxxii] Minister[lxxiii] (1750 -1777). He legislated to his heart's content. He rebuilt Lisbon after the Earthquake which destroyed great deal of the city, in close proximity to two thirds and compelled to disappear by the fire or in the waters uncalculated losses in books, artworks, pieces of furniture, gold and precious stones.
The Marquês[lxxiv] didn't cry over spilt milk. He tossed, taking his courage in both hands, to rebuilt Lisbon. He made it commanding over, even with brutality.
On his own initiative he reared instruments which developed not only Lisbon but the whole country: agriculture, trade and industry reached unusual development; he established the following societies: das Vinhas do Alto Douro,[lxxv] Grão Pará[lxxvi], Maranhão[lxxvii] and Paraíba[lxxviii], abolished the distinction between new[lxxix] and old Christians, reorganized the instruction, reformed the university etc. etc. etc. In short: he placed Portugal again at the evolved Europe level.
Please, consult História de Portugal[lxxx] in Internet: http//planeta.clix.pt/cunhasimoes.
Very contested, after the king's death, he is exiled to Pombal. A hundred and fifty years after he is pardoned for his inhumanity, he turns a great worth's person concerning the collective welfare and is erected the Marquês'[lxxxi] statue with a lion on his left side. Serenity, Strength, Agricultural, Coimbra University Reform allegorical representations, and other elements that symbolise the work, garnish the obelisk yet.

AVENIDA DA LIBERDADE[lxxxii]

I
f you go down walking alongside Avenida da Liberdade[lxxxiii], you will profit watching the ancient buildings that defy so far the 21st century appeals. Please, enter the business houses you happen to notice alongside your way, watch some of our best thinkers statues and the allegorical monument to Great War deaths. At last, you get Restauradores[lxxxiv]

RESTAURADORES

The obelisk of Restaurateurs,[lxxxv] with his 30 meters high has at the bottom the statues of the Independence and Victory genius. It was inaugurated in April 1882. It stands at the Square centre and reminds the struggles between Portugal and Spain in the 18th century. The Spanish settled 60 years in Portugal (1540-1640), following the Alcácer-Quibir crash and the plague which has decimated scores of thousands Portuguese. Though for the majority of European nations, this fact
wouldn't have the least importance, it was a great injury, for the Portuguese, zealous of his undisciplined but agreeable independence. It was a family right imposed by Philippe I[i] and had to finish soon or later. Few but harmful were the Spanish administration years. Despite the fact, Portugal being incorporated in the Iberish Peninsula and having been separated from Galiza,[ii] everybody become easily aware of the huge differences between Portuguese and Spanish. The reason is that they have different temperaments: At the beginning the population were very few and mixed with the peoples of all regions of all Europe who came along hear and stayed around due to its clime gentleness. The county was offered to a French earl, Henrique de Borgonha[iii] and this one and his followers settled the country with French, Flemish, Scandinavian etc. As the south territories were being occupied, a mixed Moorish and Jewish population was growing in. This different peoples and races whole build a sui generis Portugal where love, brotherhood, the loveliness, and the run of the time are more significant than the real fortunes. It is an unlike country and Lisbon his furthermost pattern.
The injuries between Portugal and Spain are already forgotten. The countries are very fond of each other and, today either peoples respectent their sovereignty of free and cooperant states. Every year we are pleased with Lisbon Spanish flood by Easter time, and that they appreciate the bliss of a few days in Portugal.
The Restauradores[iv] have a huge whole of means of transport. Buses: 1 – 2 – 6 – 11 – 12 – 20 – 21 – 22 – 23 – 27 – 31 – 32 – 36 – 38 – 39 – 41 – 44 – 45 – 46 – 49 – 53 – 75 – 83 – 90 – 91 – 101 which run along Avenida[v] and Marquês de Pombal.[vi] Metro[vii]: Restauradores. Elevador[viii]: Glória to join Bairro Alto and elevador[ix] of Lavra with connection to Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, [x] also called de Sant'Ana, to S. José[xi] and Desterro hospital.
Round the Restauradores, you can get utility and interest spots at your disposal. Southern and opposite to Tagus river you find the Palácio Foz[xii] where the Serviços de Turismo[xiii] are to be found which will give you support and all informations in order to feel self-assured as we have already reported. At the north edge, close to the office block, the Elevador da Glória[xiv] will carry you to Bairro Alto,[xv] Miradouro de S. Pedro de Alcântatara,[xvi] to monuments and appealing places as the Jardim Botânico,[xvii] the Museu da Ciência,[xviii] the Museu Geológico,[xix] the Museu Maçónico, [xx] the Capela de S. Roque,[xxi] the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo.[xxii]
Before going, you'll hear me.
Close before the Palácio Foz,[xxiii] opposite to Avenida[xxiv] top, slightly upwards, you have a, all the year round 24 hours a day open, Post Office. Wandering 200 meters northwards you will find the Largo da Anunciada[xxv] with another lift; the Elevador do Lavra[xxvi] that would place you close to the jardim do Torel[xxvii] belvedere and Campo dos Mártires da Pátria,[xxviii] known as I have reported by Campo de Sant'Ana[xxix] where is set up the most renowned statue in the 19th century world, Dr.'s Sousa Martins which, for his wisdom and righteousness towards the most miserable people, is honoured today as a being with supernatural powers.
If you should go up by lift in order to have a high regard for the city from the belvedere and wanted walk to the Baixa[xxx], you could do it alongside the Calçada de Sant'Ana,[xxxi] visit the particularly fascinating Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Pena,[xxxii] with a wonderful arched ceiling, extraordinary beauty icons and a amazing decoration, and you must not fail to remember the wood built pulpits.
Going further, down the Calçada de Sant'Ana,[xxxiii] you'll find the dwelling where, according to the legend, Camões has died; it stands round the space flanked by this pavement corner and the S. Luís side street. Some meters farther, on a ground floor of the Rua Martin Vaz,[xxxiv] a big fado[xxxv] lady was born: Amália Rodrigues. You 'll go further down and, at last, you go past Palácio dos Condes de Almada,[xxxvi] called of the Restauração[xxxvii] as well. You'll take the opportunity of examining the 17th century portal, the Almadas e Avranches' escutcheon, the courtyard, regarding the 17th century glazed tiles[xxxviii] and 16th century chimneys. You are staying now round about 200 meters of distance from the spot where you have got on the elevador do Lavra.[xxxix] You are finding yourself in the Rua das Portas de Santo Antão[xl] of which we'll speak 17 or 18 lines below.
As you see is very little. You just need 15 minutes walking.
It is so gentle and inviting that it means it shrinks up, become a child in order to be loosily embraced. We are going to wonder that you have gone up. As we are below close to the elevador da Glória, [xli] we'll go, sure, now, across to the other side of the avenue.
Get in Largo da Anunciada,[xlii] the 200 meters up the post-office we have just mentioned, take the turning on your right. You are standing in Rua das Portas de Sto Antão[xliii]; going down you'll find the Átrio do Tronco[xliv] which point to the arrest of one of the greatest world poets (we have already mentioned the place where he, in all likelihood, got died): Camões (1524-1580). Luís Vaz de Camões was a quarrelsome, incomprehended "genius" by ordinary people what implicated to be several times arrested. In 1552 he ended up going to the Trunk Municipal Prison. Though the body was arrested, in his mind was sprouting the epic poem "Os Lusíadas"[xlv] and outstandingly beautiful sonnets. Portugal was the sea master and settled in the most distant lands. In 1572 he dedicates "Os Lusíadas"[xlvi] to the king D. Sebastião:
"Vós, poderoso Rei, cujo alto império
O sol, logo em nascendo, vê primeiro,
Vê-o também no meio do hemisfério
E quando desce o deixa derradeiro...".[xlvii]

Domingos,[cix] ruined by a blaze but impressive yet. After that you carry on southward, enter the Praça da Figueira;[cx] at the center stands the D. João I[cxi] statue, 1385-1433, who, aided by the constable[cxii] D. Nuno Álvares Pereira headed up the portuguese people in order to impose huge defeats over the Castillian invader.

Lets go down the street, as that, and watch the cross-streets as you add a toddle more, the only thing to do after having chosen. Look carefully at the buildings, the shops, the churchs. At the cross-street Santa Justa, that will take you directly to the Bairro Alto and Carm ruins, you dispose of a Estação de Correios[cxx] and the appealing, new art style, built by the engineer Raúl Mesnier and inaugurated in 1901, Elevador de Santa Justa[cxxi]. D. Nuno Álvares Pereira (1360-1431) ordered the Carmo monastery building at the end of the 14th century. He laid down his unbeatable warrior arms and made his entrance in the Monastery in 1416, as a pious monk, venerated and beatfied in 1918 by the Catholic Church. Today, beyond the imposing gothic ruins, the front, the arches, a Carmo Convent chorus portion, remain five covered chapels and lies here a worthy Museu Arqueológico[cxxii].

Vicente,[cxxvii] Feira da Ladra[cxxviii] and near the Panteão Nacional.[cxxix]
At last you reach Terreiro do Paço or Praça do Comércio.[cxxx]
Lighted up by the splendorous Portuguese sun and refreshed and flavoured by the river- sea, the Praça do Comércio,[cxxxi] mainly known by Terreiro do Paço[cxxxii] due to the construction over hear of the Paços da Ribeira,[cxxxiii] is the city hall and meeting-room always folding in it's arms all times everyone who has just arived.
The square is surrounded by the buildings build under Marquês de Pombal[cxxxiv] after the Palácio da Ribeira[cxxxv] and all the surrounding structure disappearance with the 1755 earthquake.
The Terreiro do Paço[cxxxvi] is an attractive square with 86 arches. The planning is of the responsibility of the architect Eugénio dos Santos. It stands out the Rua Augusta[cxxxvii] Arco Triunfal,[cxxxviii] surmounted with the statues to the Genius and Value, as well as the pillars where the Portuguese soul is sitting: The men, Viriato, a Lusiad leader; D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, an independence hero, Vasco da Gama, the first man to reach India by sea and the Marquês de Pombal[cxxxix] who rebuilt Lisboa.[cxl]
In the centre of the square stands the statue of the king D. José I (1750-1777), a sculptor Machado de Castro's work. It towers 14 meters above the soil and it was the first statue to be melted in Portugal.

The cars conveying boats to Cacilhas start from Cais do Sodré.[cxlv]

MARTIM MONIZ – AREEIRO

T
he Martim Moniz is located at a short distance from Rossio. The square gets the name of the nobleman who, in 1147, aids D. Afonso Henriques to conquer the castle trapping himself at the door to let his fellow soldiers manage to get through it into the castle.
Today there are in this place attractive jets of water and the castellar symbology with towers and stylised helmets. Besides an informative pavilion about Lisbon, tel.218821169 has others with workmanship and cafeterias.
Eastwards you'll find the interesting ermida de Nossa Senhora da Saúde,[cxlvi] built in 1506 to protect the inhabitants of the city against the pestilences, which were frequents in Middle Ages and in Modern Ages yet. A lot of these pestilences were brought on by the burials in their own churches. Nossa Senhora da Saúde[cxlvii] church has a single nave, good adornment with glazed tiles[cxlviii] and striking 17th century pictures.
On either side of the square stand the Trade Centres: Martim Moniz and Mouraria. On the latter, the goods are afforded at very low prices. The mixing amongst Portuguese, Africans, Chinese's and Indians gives livelihood, movement, gracefulness and colour to that place.
Opposite, you'll find the Hospital de S. José[cxlix] placed where the ancient Colégio de Santo Antão[cl] stood. In addition to its specific function and an important library, displays an extraordinary collection of glazed tiles.[cli]

Alongside the Almirante Reis Avenue you'll find out numerous interest grounds, on either side, though, they seem very bashful and hidden in their past. The Bica do Desterro[clii] is a curious example of good-looking capitals, walled windows in, and a caravel; the Hospital and Igreja do Desterro[cliii] of only a nave. The Chafariz do Intendente,[cliv] showing neoclassic flavour; the Fábrica de Cerâmica Viúva Lamego[clv] with its magnificent panels to emoldorate it.

FROM IGREJA DA MADALENA[clxii] TO CASTELO
DE S. JORGE[clxiii] AND RETURN PAST THE
PANTEÃO[clxiv]
A
t R. da Conceição,[clxv] close to the Termas Romanas[clxvi] stands the tram 28 stop which goes round typical zones as it goes past Castelo[clxvii], S. Vicente de Fora[clxviii], Feira da Ladra[clxix], Graça[clxx], Martim Moniz.[clxxi]
If you want wondering early Lisbon, get on the tram 28. Examine the steep and bending streets, dot the places you want to know better and after doing the tour come back to Rua da Conceição.[clxxii] Go a little up the street, enter the Igreja da Madalena.[clxxiii] It was built at the square with the same name. Observe the Manueline stile portico, go in. Have a high regard for the Cristo do Perdão [clxxiv] who has an arm longer than the other in orther to saving the lost repented, examine the whole magnitude.
When you are stepping out of the church, carry on about 150 meters. Look at Igreja de Sto António, [clxxv] where the saint was born in 1195. The minster is a true symphony in marble. Next to the church, you'll find the museum. The Museu Antoniano[clxxvi] is devoted to the Sto António's cult.[clxxvii] There, are to be found the liturgical households, bibliography (books regarding the saint) and the iconographical explanation (images concerning determined matters): paintings, sculptures, engravings, and ceramics. Lg. Sto António da Sé[clxxviii] – tel. 218860447.
Go now into the Sé Catedral,[clxxix] 30 meters up.
The Sé,[clxxx] dates back from the foundation of the nationality. Structurally is a romanic monument. It stands on the foundation of an Arab mosque. It has been restored several times. The sturdy frontage with the archivolts and small columns portal has garnished capitals and a big window that frames the rose window. Survey the styles mixing: Romanic, Gothic, Classic, and Baroque works. Though it can appear as being incredible, the attractiveness is not lost in the confusion. You must look attentively at the central nave with its triforium (contracted gallery), balconies, Bartolomeu Joanes chapel, D. Dinis[clxxxi] gothic cloister, D. Afonso IV[clxxxii] niche, the tombs and the treasure which guards the holy art objects.
Between the Sé[clxxxiii] and the Castelo,[clxxxiv] on the left, stands a Royal Palace, the Limoeiro[clxxxv], turned into prison, lodging nowadays, the Magistracy services. On the left you'll see the Pátio do Carrasco[clxxxvi] exemplar which conserves all its 16th century draft: the windows chamfered contour, the staircase, with straight verge, addorsed to the wall, a rebounded first floor which rests on a column with octahedral base, shaft and capital. Some meters before stands the TEATRO ROMANO.[clxxxvii] Rua de S. Mamede[clxxxviii], by Caldas.[clxxxix]
However, your goal is the castle.
You have to stop by Santa Luzia[cxc]: Surrounding the church you have got two belvederes over Tejo[cxci] and over Alfama houses scenery. One of them lies in Santa Luzia's little garden and the other in front of the Portas do Sol,[cxcii] sat on the old Arab wall.
At Portas do Sol[cxciii] you have the Museu de Artes Decorativas Portuguesas da Fundação Ricardo Espírito Santo Silva[cxciv]
Please draw attention to the pieces fitting: the wealthy furniture concerning the 17th and 18th centuries, the painting, the jewelry, the china, tapestry, textiles and ceramics from the 16th to 19th century. This museum has yet the attribute of working as Escola Suerior de Artes Decorativas[cxcv] and Instituto de Artes e Ofícios.[cxcvi] Largo das Portas do Sol[cxcvii], 2 – tel. 21 888 1991.
Some steps ahead you'll find the Museu das Marionetas,[cxcviii] worldwide coming marionettes collection. Lg. Rodrigues de Freitas[cxcix], 19 – A – 1º Esq. tel. 218865794.
Whether you walked always straight, you'd reach Graça. The Igreja da Graça[cc], with a Manueline style arch, is shaped with a single nave and eight chapels. We must stress the painting and Dutch tiles,[cci] as well as the Senhor dos Passos[ccii] chapel and the Main-Chapel. The rococo art prevails (characterised by a great ornaments wealth, inlays curved and tangled lines profusion). The belvedere over the city and the castle stay next. Tight to the church stands the cloister with the same name, which, beyond the clock tower, the arcades, the cistern, owns so far a very interesting glazed tile.[cciii] collection. Further, 400 meters on the left, stands the shed shaped Igreja do Monte[cciv] and the curious Caldeira de Pedra[ccv] which appeases, the women who sit down on it and are in process of giving birth to a child, parturitian pains. Not to lost, you have a crib atributed to Machado de Castro, an ivory Indo-Portuguese Crucifix, the carved retables and rococo period Dutch tiles[ccvi] too. About 800 meters ahead stands the beautiful Igreja da Penha de França[ccvii] with a splendorous Miradouro[ccviii] over the city and you can satisfy your curiosity over the renowned Lagarto da Penha[ccix] that is, after all, a painted alligator on the Church vestry. This is a consequence, on the end of the 16th century, of an António Simões' vote, as he had survived the Alcácer Kibir desaster and a snake that a lisard managed to drive away.
But your goal is the Castle. If you want, go past Lóios,[ccx] Chão da feira[ccxi] in order to enter the Castle. If you don't feel like, go up one of the streets on your left and there is no doubt. All is indicated and it is there over 100 meters. In case of qualm, you'll ask around.

O CASTELO[ccxii]

A
ll of them, Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans have chosen this place as refuge, defense and atack point. Strabo (a Greek historian, 58 B.C.) names it Ulisseam.
The Romans have settled in around for more than 500 years hear, named the village Felicitas Julia and granted it municipality statute what meant that its citizens enjoyed the title of Roman citizens with the inherent privileges that came up of it.
Later settled hear in Goths and Suevi. The Visiogth come by, in turn, and stayed for two centuries and a half.
The Arabs, connoisseur of the Latin clime softness, good waters and people quietness, decided to drive off the Visigoths from the throne and settle in in 716. They changed its name from Olisipo to Lixbuna. They stayed till 1147 when the first Portuguese King, still before Pope's acknowledgment but already profiting it, decided to achieve the conquest of a portion more of Portugal body.
In the Castelo[ccxiii] was to be found the Alcáçova or Citadela[ccxiv] with its towers surrounding the Royal Palace. One of the towers fulfilled the function of Arquivo Nacional,[ccxv] therefore called Torre do Tombo[ccxvi] (created in 1375 by the king D. Fernando[ccxvii]). At the time of the earthquake of 1755, the whole has been completely destroyed. The Torre do Tombo has, happily, little suffered but, even so, all documents have been transferred to S. Bento.[ccxviii] Today they are to be found in an archive constructed for that purpose, in the Cidade Universitária[ccxix] zone, not very far from Campo Grande.
Nevertheless, we are in the Castelo.[ccxx] Whether you'll have a look over the town that stretches around, you'll conclude that is petty, pleasant, laced and cosy.
The Castelo[ccxxi] inner quarter recalls the early fortified town remnant. It is worthy of a visit as well as the igreja de Santa Cruz[ccxxii] whose construction dates back to the year of the conquest.
If you want, go down along the Chão da Feira,[ccxxiii] past the Pátio D.Fradique,[ccxxiv] go through the largo do Menino Deus[ccxxv] where some houses of the 15th century persist in their standing. Go in the Menino de Deus[ccxxvi] church that stands 15 meters on your left. The church is octagonal, is plenty of marbles and pictures of famous painters as Vieira Lusitano, André[ccxxvii] Gonçalves e Manuel[ccxxviii] Ribeiro. Seize the opportunity of visiting the castle in order to, 400 meters eastwards, come around the Mosteiro de S. Vicente de Fora,[ccxxix] at first, the Church with its main chapel covered with marble and, in the limelight, the Baroque altar. The statuary is impressive and the organ, a carved-work, is a fine piece of workmanship. Next you'll do a carefully visit to the monastery. Examine the structure, the cistern, the entrance hall, the ceilings, the fabulous whole of azulejos[ccxxx] that meander pretty nearly all the spaces of the building, the vestry, the Bragança House pantheon where are to stress the tombs of D. Carlos I[ccxxxi] and D. Luís Filipe.[ccxxxii] Go up the bell-tower. You'll enjoy a dazzling scene.
As you get out, on your right, go past the Campo de Santa Clara[ccxxxiii] in order to go to the Igreja de Santa Engrácia,[ccxxxiv] at the present time Panteão Nacional.[ccxxxv] It is a pleasing baroque exemplar. There are to be found poets, navigators and presidents: Camões, Vasco da Gama, Sidónio Pais, etc. The building, round, is impressive by its stateliness.
If you'll program your visit for a Tuesday or Saturday, when you go past Campo de Santa Clara[ccxxxvi] you'll find out the renowned Feira da Ladra[ccxxxvii] where you can find everything. The goods are negotiated as if it was an Arabian market. Its a mode of mental exercise and trade shrewdness.
The Arabs or Moors lived here more than 600 years and they deep-rooted so far that the Bairros de Alfama[ccxxxviii] e Mouraria[ccxxxix] still preserve its features. It was in Alfama, in 1288, that the king D. Dinis[ccxl] created the so-called Estudo Geral,[ccxli] university germ, with the Escolas Gerais[ccxlii] annexed and university students residences.
Now, go down past the Igreja de Santo Estêvão[ccxliii] side. The church is already an octagonal form of art and interesting marbles little jewel. Watch the landscape at the Miradouro.[ccxliv] Carry on down the escadinhas de Santo Estêvão;[ccxlv] at the end turn left , go deep through the Bairro de Alfama[ccxlvi] and prepare yourself to look for all the very very narrow alleys on your right and left. Examine de intricate and the intricacy of the constructions.
Hear is living the past, the tradition and the healthy localism. Alfama enter the future without modifying the ambient and the way of life: clothing hanging down of the windows or buildings balconies, the fado[ccxlvii] vadio[ccxlviii] in the streets or in little restaurants, pubs or bars, the saleswomen pregões[ccxlix], the fish or greens market at the doors, Santo António[ccl] thrones and the roasted sardines during the summer months, people chatting pausingly in the streets without heed to anybody passes by or stops. The street is the office where one brings up all what happens and Alfama the quarter where the people ingenuousness and sympathy does not collide with the progress or the visitors importance.
On 12 June, the popular celebrations draw the whole Lisbon to Alfama. It is a stream of people and sardines. All goes through with the Santo's[ccli] protection who on 13 insists on visiting all chapels and scours all the quarter escorted by the person in charge in the autarky and many thousands of Lisbonians.
Walk on in direction of rua da Regueira[cclii], stepping rightwards. If you march along the left side you'll appear at Rua dos Remédios[ccliii] and by Nossa Senhora dos Remédios[ccliv] chapel whose beautiful Manueline portico loges, cosy, the dove, Espírito Santo[cclv] symbol. Do not get out this way. Go through the opposite side. Turn left at the little square towards Rua de S. Miguel.[cclvi] Whether the church with this name is open, go in. The golden high altar carving is impressing. If not sit down on the staircase and relax

Go past the church till praça de S. Rafael.[cclvii] Here is a piece of the Moorish wall, look at the very very narrow beco das Barrelas[cclviii] which goes round all the structure, carry on alongside the rua da judiaria[cclix] 20 meters, detect another interesting piece of wall with gothic windows, where is a little homage to the poet Antonio Botto, go ahead along R. do Terreiro do Trigo[cclx], always on your right and 150 meters further you'll find the Arco de Jesus[cclxi]; go up the little staircase, turn right and reach the Igreja de S. João da Praça. Go throughout the square until you get a yellow house, in front of you, with a veranda on all house width and balcony staircase. You are walking along R. da Adiça.[cclxii] Supposing you went slowly up it, you would be in seven minutes at Santa Luzia[cclxiii] belvedere and by Castelo[cclxiv] door. But we have already come from there. It's only to see through that Lisbon is a little and soft cake to be covered without effort and with delight. But it's time to let the arguments go. You go alongside the R. Adiça,[cclxv] the Largo S. Rafael[cclxvi] and enter the Rua de S. Pedro,[cclxvii] where there is a daily mercado de peixe[cclxviii] when this one has just been carried from the lota[cclxix]. Carry on. You You are going to disembogue at the Chafariz de Dentro,[cclxx] early horses spring to where men and animals came in order to quench their thirst. Some 300 meters farther is established the Museu Militar.[cclxxi] The military history and techniques are here copiously documented together with war and hunt guns collections and yet huge transport cars used for stones transportation for city monuments buildings. The building itself it's a true beauty monument. Lg. de Santa Apolónia[cclxxii] – tel.218882131.
Some steps forward you have another very very interesting museum, the Museu da Água.[cclxxiii] It consists of four nucleus: Aqueduto das Águas Livres,[cclxxiv] the Mãe de Água das Amoreiras,[cclxxv] the Reservatório de Água da Patriarcal[cclxxvi] and the Estação Elevatória dos Barbadinhos.[cclxxvii] The museum tells us the EPAL[cclxxviii] story and Lisbon water supply story.
R. Alviela,[cclxxix] 12 tel. 218135522.
But we are at Chafariz de Dentro.[cclxxx] Opposite stands the Casa da Guitarra e do Fado[cclxxxi], tel. 218823470.
The fado,[cclxxxii] in its atmosphere, characters and sounds are offered hear in an interesting mode, by means of the audio-visual. You can profit and put your feet up while hearing fados and guitar-concerts.[cclxxxiii]

THE FADO ARROGATE LISBON SONG STATUS:

"T
em sempre um quê de pecado
E algo também divino
Amor que passou é ... fado
O de amanhã é destino"
(Mascarenhas Barreto)[cclxxxiv]

Another of wanderer author:

Os teus beijos são loucos
De beijar e morrer
E os momentos são poucos,
P'ra t'amar e viver

Vivo sonho e loucura
Nos beijos de paixão
É fado, é ternura
È amor do coração.

Tu és a minha alma
Eu não sei mais quem sou
Vivo na rua da Palma
Mas por ti ela voou.

Conserva-me prisioneiro
Nunca me deixes afastar
O teu amor foi o primeiro
Que eu consegui amar.[cclxxxv]

All this stroll seems enormous. It is not, it is painless. After your break, when you get out, turn left straight to Praça do Comércio, go along Rua Terreiro do Trigo[cclxxxvi] named so on account of the storehouses to shelter this and other cereals. It worked as a public barn. Here , in the Terreiro do Trigo bystreet and behind the Banco Português do Atlântico[cclxxxvii] and in the site of the BCP – Nova Rede[cclxxxviii] stood the warm baths: mineral thermal-water springs, rich in azotes, magnesium, calcium sulphate, calcium carbonate, sodium, potassium and silica that de urban progress polluted and the municipality was obliged to close. The Arabs called Alfama al-hama because of its thermal waters. The square remains with the name Alcaçarias (tanks to wool and tanning wash).
The secret of these waters and the galleries where they flow reaches the bottom of the castle. The galleries should be examined at once in order to one grow aware of its consolidation condition. Just in front of Terreiro do Trigo bystreet you have the Alfândega[cclxxxix] building. You leave, go past Arco do Rosário[ccxc] that connects Rua da Judiaria[ccxci] where you have already been, walk a little more and you'll see the Chafariz d'el Rei[ccxcii] on your right, a creation of the 13th century with numerous modifications through the ages.
It was a very very crowded and pure water spring. The water sprang warm, went through saltpetre and sulphur minerals and cooled off very quickly in the open air. It supplied not only the population but also the fleets which leaved the Tejo[ccxciii] under way to the lands over the other side of the sea. It has six water-outlets. In 17th century, on account of the unremitting beating scenes in account of the choice of the water – outlets, was determined, by municipal by-law that the 1st would be utilized by coloured men: Negroes, Mulattoes, Indian men, the 2nd by galley men, the 3rd and 4th by Negro women, Mulattoes and Indian women, the 5th and 6th by white women and lassies.
In the beginning of the 20th century and even until 1960, the Galician (Spanish from Galice) have won fortunes with this water, that apart from their endeavour, it cost nothing. They sold it in the houses which hadn't canalised water yet. Today, some of them and a lot of their descendants, are well-off business men, really respected for their earnest and work capacity.
Between the Chafariz D'El Rei[ccxciv] and the Chafariz de Dentro[ccxcv] sat the warm waters that we have talked about. Today this water pours directly in the river Tejo[ccxcvi]. The houses, in this neighbourhood, sat on deep wells, and not rarely the water explodes bubbling and floods the surrounding streets. Lisbon sails side by side with the great transatlantic liners with age wisdom and pleasure. It never runs at full speed. Calm, love and joie de vivre are Lisbonian characteristics.
150 metres ahead, at Campo das Cebolas, [ccxcvii] you'll find the Casa dos Bicos,[ccxcviii] built up in 1523 by the bastard son of Afonso de Albuquerque, the Orient Portuguese Empire founder. The earthquake of 1755 has destroyed his higher floors restored in 1981 for the European Art Exposition.
After the examination of this 7th century queer exemplar carry on alongside Rua da Alfândega,[ccxcix] scrutinize on the Church of the Conceição Velha, the Manueline portico, the Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia[ccc] image, the queen D. Leonor (the founder of the misericórdias[ccci] and D. João II's wife), the king D. Manuel, the Pope Leo X and you'll bear out for that this whole makes the transition between the gothic and the renaissance styles in a so natural way that amazes ourselves both by its beauty and its seeming simplicity of conception.
Next, you arrive to Praça do Comércio.[cccii] Here, you are going to find the celebrated Café Martinho, renowned as long as for being advanced in years (it was borne in 1782) and yet and mainly because Fernando Pessoa, 1888-1935, the poet who astonished Portuguese, Brazilian and the world which reads him, owing to his thinking geneality and newness, only full acknowledged after his death in 1935, drunk there his coffee and inseparable brandy. But this is the Portuguese genius fate. Matching with him were Camões, Bocage, D. João da Câmara, Duarte Pacheco Pereira and many others who has died in the most merciless misery and today are Portugal glory.
Cheerless destiny of those who the world has not in its pocket.
From Praça do Comércio,[ccciii] you have buses for everywhere. Get on one of them to your hotel or domicile, calm down as at night one of the numerous suggested settings in other sites can fall on your pick up.

BAIRRO ALTO[ccciv] BY ELEVADOR DA GLÓRIA[cccv]

T
He Glória lift (inaugurated in 1885) sits, as I have already aforementioned, next to the Palácio Foz[cccvi] in Restauradores. Get on and arrive in less of four minutes to Bairro Alto.
Please don't go hasty since you are going to start off a lot of confusion.
Begin on your right, just beside, with S. Pedro de Alcântara[cccvii] belvedere and carry on until you'll find here any 15th century houses with gables ended in point and narrow façades.
Please don't go hasty since you are going to do a lot of confusion.
Begin on your right, just beside, with S. Pedro de Alcântara belvedere and carry on until the railing. Look at the city; "touch" the Castelo,[cccviii] Mouraria[cccix], Baixa[cccx], all is just there. Let run the eyes and dream and astonish yourself. Forget life problems, relearn to live. Follow me that, though old, I love and recycle knowledge further.
Carry on next along Rua S. Pedro de Alcântara,[cccxi] enter the Jardim Botânico da Faculdade de Ciências,[cccxii] Rua da Escola Politécnica[cccxiii] (300 metres ahead, without leaving the side where you are walking), the Garden is integrated in the Museu Nacional de História Natural[cccxiv] and it is a precious reserve of exotic species: I point out the cycads, fossil group of dinosaurs period, the cacti, the pulpy plants, the bonsai, the ginkgo. They are more than a 1000 plants which are here gathered since 1858, in this earlier Colégio dos Nobres [cccxv] field. Profit and glance the Museu da Ciência.[cccxvi] Physics, astronomy, computing and text sciences possess here a very broad and profusely supported by documents range field. Whether the planetary is open, you must not loose it. R. da Escola Politécnica, 56 tel. 213921808.
Alongside this zone go by the buses 15,58,100 and the trams 24 and 25. But Lisbon is so easy to handle that people makes only use of the means of transport to go up the hills or then by those who are in a hurry or those whose tracks are very extended and must profit them to go to emplo yment.
Turn around, get back along the other side of the street, go past the Jardim França Borges,[cccxvii] also known as Jardim do Príncipe Real;[cccxviii] in the subsoil, by the lake you'll find the Reservatório de Água da Patriarcal;[cccxix] (1864); its shape is octagonal with 31 pillars owing 9,25 meters high and 880 m³ capacity.
Suppose you went down two hundred meters and reached the Museu Geológco,[cccxx] you would see here Tertiary vertebrates collections, reptiles and plants collections, Palaeolithic archaeological pieces and eruptive and metamorphic rocks.

But walk it alongside Rua D.Pedro V.[cccxxiv] Go in the antiquaries. Get back to elevador da Glória.[cccxxv] Don't stop, walk on in order to penetrate deep through Bairro Alto but, before entering the streets where the fado[cccxxvi] dwells, go in Igreja de S. Roque[cccxxvii] (1555), Largo Trindade Coelho – tel. 213235380/1.
The Church is a wonder, not only owing to the whole of chapels which integrate it but predominantly for its S. João Baptista[cccxxviii] chapel.
Lisbon as the eight marvel in the world is the considered opinion of Tirso (1571 - 1648) de Molina, one of the greatest Spanish poets and dramatists and this chapel did not exist yet ... Hear please: "El burlador de Sevilha", 11th scene, act one. I don' delay you more than 10 seconds for corroboration of what I am saying.
Rey – Es buena tierra, Lisboa?
D. Gonz. – La mayor ciudad de España:
Y si mandas que diga lo que he visto,
De lo exterior célebre, en un punto
En tu presencia te pondré un retrato.
Rey – Yo gustaré de oillo, dadme silla.
D. Gonz – Es Lisboa una octava maravilla.[cccxxix]
The scene continues and Tirso de Molina makes a fascinating description of Lisbon to king Filipe.[cccxxx] Portugal was, by right, under the, in Alcácer Kibir missing, Portuguese king's[cccxxxi] Spanish relatives.
The Igreja de S. Roque[cccxxxii] has an single nave with four by four grouped galleries over the eight side-chapels, besides the main chapel, of classic structure and little altars towards the transept as well as the main chapel of classic structure too, built in 1628 according to the retable Jesuit model in matched groups of Corinthian pillars in two stages architectonic overlapping. In the superior part has a private room to the Bless Sacrament exposure, normally unseen by means of a picture changeable for each of the liturgical periods.
The light, falling upon the huge profusion of golden carving, glazed tiles,[cccxxxiii] and marbles, raises an artificial volumetric system, giving this space an rare standpoint.
Watch, all eyes, the Chapels:
The Capela de S. Francisco Xavier[cccxxxiv] was built in 1623. A 17th century image of the patron saint stands in the middle of it. The lateral pictures stand for the Pope Paulo III[cccxxxv]who
sends the first Jesus Company Jesuits to Portugal and the king D. João III saying good-bye to S. Francisco Xavier[cccxxxvi] when he leaved to India in 1541.
Holy Family's Chapel arises since the 17th century. Its decoration is classic, following the main Chapel pattern. Jesus amid the doctors. On the lateral zones, represent the Kings Adoration and the Shepherds Adoration. The Capela de Nossa Senhora da Doutrina,[cccxxxvii] of the same century of the precedent, is covered with golden carving "estilo joanino",[cccxxxviii] being the panelling and altar decorated with marble incrustations.
The of popular feature Capela de S. Roque [cccxxxix], decorated with golden carving on a white bottom, is devoted to the church patron who is encircled by S. Sebastião[cccxl] and S.Tiago.[cccxli] The lateral illustration represents the Angel's apparition to S. Roque.[cccxlii] The Dutch tiles[cccxliii] are from 1584 and match naturalistic and iconographic elements with reference to S. Roque.[cccxliv]
The Capela do Santíssimo[cccxlv] is encircled by forged iron railings. These 16th century iron railings belonged to Capela de S. Roque.[cccxlvi] The former was built in 1636, although its decoration reaches the 18th century. This Chapel shelters the Sacred Sacrament, but the central panel praises Nossa Senhora da Assunção.
The Capela de S. João Baptista[cccxlvii] is an accurate masterpiece. The king D. João V, 1706 – 1750, ordered it in Rome and it is built between 1743 and 1750. It is characterized by a rockery neoclassicism. Its composition includes precious materials as golden bronzes and several marble kinds. The angels and medallions which beautify the ceiling are in Carrara marbles. The lateral pictures and the chapel floor are in mosaic. The chapel has arrived enriched with spectacular cult pieces: priestly garments, liturgical implements, paintings, jewellery, laces and books, which make up the musicological core aggregated to the church itself and are a priceless art and dream compilation.
The Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade[cccxlviii] privileges the Calvary as a theme, and painted angels, on plaster, arrange its base.
The Capela de Santo António,[cccxlix] of classical conception alike to the main Chapel, was restored in the 19th century.
The vestry possesses precious and 19th century big jacaranda arks[cccl] with ivory filets. The walls are padded with Portuguese school paintings with ornamental overlay friezes. The ceiling, decorated in frescos, is a semicircular vault divided into great panels. It dates from the 17th century and has as central topic the Virgin Litany.
The Igreja de S. Roque[cccli] is yet stressed for the labyrinthine whole of the two outbuildings: the beauty and rationality of the unexpected is fashioned by the architectonical structures, which dazzle for the functionality of the building.
The Museu de S. Roque[ccclii] is installed in this Church. Beyond the plastic arts, with emphasis upon on the 16th, 17th and 18th paintings, includes Baroque jewellery pieces and great wealth and beauty priestly garments.

The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos[cccxcviii] (1552) is a hymn to the imagination and a majestic symbol of Portugal and Lisbon might, Capital of the World, when its boats, after having been the first to navigate over the seas that nobody had courage to face, they ended for discovering two thirds of the unknown world. Then, they settle down, in remote regions, from east to west, with a very reduced people number. This is only explained by the Portuguese friendly nature and his mixing capacity through marriages with the discovered peoples and, sometimes, rare, conquered.
The best example is the Brazilian people. The sweet, friendly, and affectionate nature of the Brazilians can only be explained by this love, intelligence and softness mixture, that tied, through the melody of the verb and for the eternity, the new to the old continent.
Portugal was the largest naval and commercial power in that age.
The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos[cccxcix] is a beautiful architectural book with Gothic motifs. Artists of great imagination and knowledge worked in it: Boitac, João e Diogo de Castilho, Nicolau[cd] Chanterenne, Diogo Torralva and João[cdi] de Rouen.

Manuel, that ordered the monastery building, queen D. Maria, S. Jerónimo[cdiv] and S. João Baptista[cdv]. On the Porch, S. Vicente[cdvi], the Infante Santo[cdvii], the four Evangelists, and the apostles.
The interior astonishes for the proportion of the naves, the vault and the height of the pillars, excellently cultivated. Its frail, comely aspect dazzles who looks them.
The vault is multinervate just as a colossal palm tree. The transept seems to be overhanging by the sunbeams. Three naves form the Church, in Latin cross.
The high choir with the extraordinary rows of chairs into the wall, for which worked Miguel[cdviii] Angelo, and the Gothic chapel of the apse are true praise songs to the beauty and the art. The main chapel is flanked by a triumphal arch where must be admired two blinding Manueline pulpits. The sacristy is another piece you must not lose. The cloisters are of surprising beauty and charm.
The Chapter Room Window is an astonishment. The cloisters are a near unimaginable ornaments lace in the stone labour.

Always a little sinfully thing
And somewhat divine too,
Past love is... fado something,
Next, the fate you must do

[cclxxxv]
Your kisses are crazy,
We will kiss and pass on
And the moments are lazy
To care for and live on.

In your passionate kiss,
I live a dream, a madness,
It is our hearts bliss,
It's fado, it's kindness.

You're, my soul, my feet
I don't know myself,
I live in Palma street,
For you fell off the shelf.

Keep me safe, convict,
Don't let me go, my dove;
Care for you, first delict
I managed to love.

And, if you order me to say what I have seen
Famous abroad,
I'll point out you a metaphor.
King – I would like listen to it. Give me a chair.
D. Gonz. – Lisbon is the eight wonder.

The city revives within all her mornings dawning enchantment
To which is inserted the rainfall scent
In the streets and soil
The light, the dye, the sounds

Sharpened for the drizzle

Of manifold people,
Of stones, lands,
Houses and ships
