2. The Jerónimos Monastery, also called Hieronymites Monastery, one of the most visited sites in Lisbon. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1983. This landmark is called Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Portuguese. The religious building was designed by the Portuguese architect Diogo de Boitaca to commemorate the return of Vasco da Gama from India. The construction began on 6 January 1501 and wasn’t completed until the seventeenth century. The building is predominantly Manueline style (Portuguese late Gothic). Curiously, the monastery was built on the site of the former Ermida do Restelo, the chapel where Vasco da Gama and the rest of the sailors prayed before setting sail down the African coast to India.

6. São Jorge Castle (Castelo de São Jorge) is one of Lisbon’s most emblematic landmarks. The silhouette of the Castle stands out both by day and when illuminated at night, located on the summit of São Jorge hill, the highest in Lisbon. The hillside also houses two of the city’s neighbourhoods called Alfama and Castelo. A small fortress was built by the Visigoths during the fifth century. It was modified and enlarged by the Moors in the mid-eleventh century and during the reign of Afonso I of Portugal (1109 – 1185), it was altered and in later years transformed into a Royal Palace. Finally, it was completely restored in 1938

7. The Cathedral's construction dates from the twelfth century and is predominantly Romanesque in style. Its official name is Santa Maria Maior. Surprisingly, it has survived several natural disasters, like the great earthquake of 1755, which left part of the religious edifice in ruins. Throughout the centuries, the Cathedral has been renovated and rebuilt on various occasions.

8. Praça do Comércio, Commerce Square in English, is Lisbon’s main square. It was built on the site where the old Royal Palace used to exist before it was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. The southern end of the plaza is open and looks out onto the Tagus River. The other three sides have yellow-coloured buildings with arcades all along the façade. When the square was first built, the commercial ships would unload their goods directly onto this square, as it was considered the “door” to Lisbon. On the river bank, near the square, is the Cais de Sodré ferry terminal from which several ferries depart down the Tagus River.

Afonso Henriques would have been camped when the important take of Lisbon to the Moors, in 1147), however the present building was built between 1582 and 1629,

10. The 25th April Bridge, also known as 25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril in Portuguese) is the longest suspension bridge in Europe. It has two levels, the top level is for cars and the lower, which was added in 1999 is for trains. The overpass took 45 months to build. It was inaugurated on the 6 August 1966 and was named Salazar Bridge, after António de Oliveira Salazar, dictator of Portugal until 1974. After the Carnation Revolution that took place on the 25 April 1974 and Salazar’s regime was overturned, the Bridge was given the name of 25th of April. It was designed by the American Bridge Company, also responsible for the San Francisco Bridge, and this is why it looks like it and why they are often compared.

About Lissabon

Lissabon rinner ner för sina kullar mot Tejos mynning, med kaklade fasader, skramlande gula spårvagnar, utsiktsplatser och sena, lugna middagar.

De gamla kvarteren rymmer det mesta av charmen. Alfamas virrvarr av gränder klättrar mot Castelo de São Jorge och ekar av fado på kvällen, Baixas ordnade rutnät löper ner till det väldiga Praça do Comércio vid floden, och Bairro Alto och Chiado blandar bokhandlar och caféer på dagen med barer på natten. Utsiktsplatser som Santa Luzia och Senhora do Monte ramar in röda tak och glittrande vatten.
