4. In the heart of the city is the illustrious Convent of Jesus, dating from the 15th century (1490). It was the first convent of Manueline architecture and one of the few that survived the 1755 earthquake. The work is documented and stylistically attributed to the Manueline architect Boitaca. Its atmosphere reminds us of peace and silence, but also of the complexity of the Manueline style alluding to the golden age of the Portuguese discoveries. An intricate and enigmatic style, an art where symbolism is present in every detail of its movement.

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
