Lisbon's Alfama Neighborhood - A Tour Through Lisbon's Cultural Heart

Join us on a historic journey through Lisbon! Discover the beauty and rich history of St Anthony's Church, the oldest house in Lisbon, and a public commission by street artist Vhils.

St Anthony's Church, also known as the Santo António Church, is a stunning and historic building dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. The ornate interior and intricate carvings left us in awe, and the gold leaf decorations added to the overall splendor of the church. Learn about the church's history, including the 1755 Lisbon earthquake that destroyed much of the city, but didn't defeat its people.

Discover the oldest house in Lisbon, a small 16th-century building that survived the devastating earthquake. A unique example of medieval architecture, it serves as a relic of the times before the 1755 catastrophe.

Finally, admire the public commission titled "Calçada," created by Portuguese street artist Vhils. This piece, made in the traditional Portuguese pavement style, pays tribute to the late Fado singer Amália Rodrigues and reflects the city's culture and history.

Our day visiting these historic sites in Lisbon was an enriching experience filled with emotions and thoughts. We hope you enjoy this journey with us and leave feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience the beauty and rich history of Lisbon.
