It was from the river Tagus that the Armies that would come to discover the world, making Portugal the richest country in Europe. Some monuments had been constructed to eternalize the Portuguese Discoveries, being the Torre de Belém (Tower of Belém) and Mosteiro de Jerónimos (Monastery of Jerónimos) the most emblematic ones.

Aos avós, pelo apoio e pelo orgulho. Ao Bruno, pela ajuda preciosa, pelo apoio e pela disponibilidade. I RESUMO A Paisagem Cultural de Sintra, classificada em 1995 pela UNESCO como Património Mundial, representa o testemunho de uma simbiose única entre a Natureza e o Homem. O microclima específico e o coberto vegetal exuberante conferem à Serra de Sintra o espírito bucólico que promoveu, desde há muito, a sua ocupação por diferentes culturas: dos vestígios Neolíticos, a Suntria medieval; dos conventos e ermitérios espalhados pela solidão da Serra, ao estabelecimento da Corte e de nobres nas suas quintas de recreio, dispostas harmoniosamente por entre maciços graníticos e a luxuriante vegetação trazida de várias partes do mundo. A Paisagem de Sintra construiu-se sob influências artísticas e literárias, sendo hoje inclusivamente considerada como uma referência da expressão do Romantismo, que influenciou a Europa dos séculos XVIII e XIX.

Scenographic Interventions in Portuguese Romantic Architecture ABSTRACT When Kant established the noumenon1 as the limit of knowledge in his Critique of Judgment, he set off a reaction among the most distinguished philosophers of the infinite: Fischte, Schilling, and Hegel. This consciousness of the infinite and its analysis through the feeling of the sublime was the basis of all European Romanticism, as well as of the artistic currents that flowed from it. Although the theme of the sublime has been studied since Longinus, it was Hegel who extended the concept through the analysis of space and time in his The Philosophy of Nature, because nature as de-termination2 of the idea necessarily falls in space and time.3 Consequently, the artistic achievement of that era could only be a figurative representation of the sublime and the integration of all arts in a whole with the purpose of awakening the feeling of Gesamtkunstwerk.

Auflage 2018 www.michael-mueller-verlag.de/updates © 2021, Michael Müller Verlag GmbH 1 Seite Umschlagkarte vorne Neue, alte Tramlinie in Lissabon 23 Jahre nach ihrer Stilllegung wird die Tram-Linie 24 reaktiviert. Ab dem 24. April fährt sie von der Praça Luís de Camões im Bairro Alto (Metro Baixa/Chiado) über Rato (Metro Rato), Amoreiras (ne- ben dem gleichnamigen Einkaufszentrum) nach Campolide. Später soll sie bereits am Bahnhof Cais do Sodré starten. Nach 27 Jahren wird damit zum ersten Mal eine neue Linie in Lissabon eröffnet, die Stadt spricht von einer neuen Verkehrspolitik und einer Renaissance der Straßenbahn. (Johannes Beck, 22.04.2018) Seite 1 Corona-Vorschriften beim Besuch von Sehenswürdigkeiten Fast alle Museen und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in Portugal wieder geöffnet. Es gilt in der Regel eine Maskenpflicht während des ganzen Besuchs so wie bei der Fahrt mit Bus und Bahn oder beim Einkauf in Supermärkten oder anderen Geschäften. In Portugal wird diese Maskenpflicht von fast allen Menschen akzeptiert und eingehalten. Außerdem ist die Höchstzahl der Besucher pro Sehenswürdigkeit limitiert und ein Mindestabstand zwischen den Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Haushalten von 2 Metern soll beachtet werden. Viele Museen haben außerdem ihre Cafetaria geschlossen. Häufig ist auch die Benutzung von Schließfächern nicht mehr möglich, so dass man große Rucksäcke und Taschen besser zu Hause lässt. Bargeldloses Bezahlen ist meist erwünscht und in Portugal mit EC-, Visa- oder Mastercard-Karten meist problemlos möglich. In jedem Fall werden alle Besucher gebeten die Hygiene-Regeln einzuhalten (Hände gründlich wa- schen und desinfizieren, in die Armbeugen husten und niesen etc.) und bei Covid-19-Symptomen auf den Besuch zu verzichten.

  • Driving in Europe: Amsterdam to Portugal by Barry Pasternack
    1 Driving in Europe: Amsterdam to Portugal by Barry Pasternack While I lived in Europe off and on for over two years, I never made it to Portugal. Perhaps it was the fact that it was stuck at the end of the Iberian peninsula and therefore harder to reach than other countries, perhaps it was because for much of the time I lived in Europe Portugal was a dictatorship (it was not until 1976 that a democratically elected Prime Minister took office), but for whatever reason, I had not visited. Given that I had some personal business to take care of in the Netherlands and I had three weeks to spare, my wife and I decided to drive from Amsterdam down to Portugal and cross another activity off the “bucket list.” In total, we drove over 3,000 miles during our 15 day trip to Portugal and saw sights in the Netherlands, France, and Spain along the way. Our trip south began on Monday, March 27th when we drove from Tilburg, a city in southern Netherlands where I worked as a consultant in the 1980’s and we reached the outskirts of Paris right around rush hour (all roads in France seem to go through Paris). Given that we had experienced rush hour in Paris on an earlier trip to Europe a few years back, we knew enough to book a hotel on the outskirts of the city. The next morning we left Paris and drove to Bordeaux where I had booked a room at the Intercontinental using a free night (except for the five euro city tax) I received for renewing my IHG Mastercard (annual cost of $49).
