The church, which construction was ordered be the Infanta Dona Maria in 1575, suffered serious damages with the earthquake of 1755, resisting only the main-chapel, the cross arch and part of the walls of the body.

Built on the occasion of the Portuguese World Exhibition, the ostentatious Padrão, a work by Leopoldo de Almeida, rests on a compass rose and its design in the form of a caravel is imaginative. Inside the monument, an elevator goes up to the sixth floor, where you have access to a terrace from which you can get a fantastic panorama of the Tagus River and Belém. The attics house temporary exhibitions.

This is one of the most eccentric buildings in the downtown area. The Santa Justa elevator allows those who are downtown, to access Bairro Alto (32 meters above) in a comfortable way. At the top of the tower, which can also be accessed via a spiral staircase, there is an outdoor cafe. From the terrace the view over Rossio, Baixa, Castelo and River Tagus is splendid.

Located in downtown Pombalina, Praça do Comércio, also known as Terreiro do Paço, is an open, pedestrian space, with cafes and outdoor sales outlets.

An imposing monument, inaugurated in 1789, whose facade has two twin bell towers and statues of saints and allegorical figures, including four statues that symbolize many other virtues: Faith, Devotion, Gratitude and Freedom. The building, with a single nave in the form of a Latin cross and with six chapels, is part of the Convent of the Santíssimo Coração de Jesus. The interior is spacious and majestic, with walls clad in gray, pink and yellow marble. You can visit a room where you can find an extraordinary set with more than 500 baked clay figures.

On the outside, the façade stands out, with a porch and portal with four primitive Romanesque archivolts.

Exemplary monument of the grandeur of the Age of Discoveries, which is the maximum exponent of the Manueline style. The initial risk belongs to Boitaca, the architect who laid the foundations for the work. Built in limestone, it has a facade that exceeds 300 meters. Highlights include the exuberantly decorated south portico, which is one of the masterpieces of Flaming Gothic, and a double cloister considered one of the most beautiful in the world. A must-visit monument.

São Jorge Castle was the birthplace of Lisbon. Situated 111 meters above the waters of the Tagus, the castle and walls underwent successive adaptations over the centuries. The current appearance is that of a medieval building, with 10 square-shaped towers, where the ruins of the Royal Palace still remain. It is a pleasant space to stroll around, and for this purpose, you can choose either the gardens, which date back to 1942 and where geese and ducks roam, or the narrow alleys of the tiny neighborhood of Santa Cruz, located within the castle walls. Visitors can also climb the towers …
