Situated between the neighborhoods of Bairro Alto and Baixa Pombalina, Chiado is a traditional shopping area that features a mix of old and modern commercial establishments. Many of the buildings in this elegant and trendy location were first built in the 1700s, although many were restored in the 1990s, after their destruction by a devastating fire in 1988. It's a neighborhood that flashes back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the "Belle Epoque "when writers such as Fernando Pessoa and Eça de Queiroz used to write at the now- historic cafes.

  • Transformations to Lisbon's Terreiro Do Paço
    URBAN TRANSFORMATION: CONTROVERSIES, CONTRASTS and CHALLENGES TRANSFORMATIONS TO LISBON’S TERREIRO DO PAÇO DIANE BRAND Address: School of Architecture Victoria University of Wellington NEW ZEALAND Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT After a devastating earthquake, tsunami and fire in 1755, Lisbon’s Terreiro do Paço, or Palace Square, was transformed by the Marquis of Pombal into a state of the art 18th century urban space called Praça do Comércio This paper looks at the configuration and use of this space from the 16th to the 18th century, tracing customary, ceremonial and institutional events, with particular reference to the role of ephemeral architecture in reconfiguring the space’s relationship to either river or land. An analysis of the paintings in Lisbon’s Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Navy Archives), Museu da Cidade de Lisboa (City Museum of Lisbon) and the Muesu Nacional dos Coches (National Coach Museum) shows the square transitioned over two centuries from a space fully engaging the Tagus to a condition that captured the space and engaged it with the reconstructed city quarter behin. INTRODUCTION The paper aims to show how, over several centuries, the Terreiro do Paço has transitioned from a space where customary uses have fully engaged the River, to a condition where the space has been reclaimed by the city beyond. This transition had as much to do with various institutional presences as it did with the ephemeral structures which graced the space during state occasions and sought to re-orient the square towards either city or sea. A range of ceremonial and institutional occasions will be examined, including royal and religious processions, autos da fé and commercial exchange.

Overtourism affects picturesque places, and these areas end up losing their authenticity, submitting themselves to the consumption needs of tourists. Neighborhoods’ traditional residents also see their routine completely changed due to the different habits of tourists, and displacement rates rise. This study aims to understand how local people perceive tourism in Alfama, one of the most unique and tourist-oriented neighborhoods of Lisbon. Our study involves a questionnaire to old long-term residents and content analysis of their responses.

  • PRESS RELEASE Plátano Do Rossio Eleito a Árvore Portuguesa Do Ano 2021
    PRESS RELEASE Plátano do Rossio Eleito a Árvore Portuguesa do Ano 2021 Lisboa, 26 de novembro de 2020 – Foi hoje conhecido o vencedor do concurso nacional. Os portugueses escolhem o Plátano do Rossio como a Árvore Portuguesa do ano de 2021. Plantado em 1838, o ex-libris de Portalegre ganhou o Concurso Árvore Portuguesa do ano 2021 com 2.401 votos, seguido da Oliveira de Mouchão, de Santarém, que contou com 2.213 votos e da Schotia do Jardim Botânico da Ajuda, em Lisboa, com 1.883 votos. O Plátano do Rossio é o maior plátano da Península Ibérica. De porte majestoso, guarda em si, nas suas longas e robustas pernadas, anos e anos de memórias coletivas e segredos infindáveis. Há muito que é lugar de encontros e reencontros, e ali nasceram clubes, associações e bandas filarmónicas. Não dá para ficar indiferente ao carinho especial que os portalegrenses sentem por este monumento vivo. De impressionante resiliência, continua a pasmar admiradores, a ouvir desabafos de solitários e a inspirar artistas atendendo à sua singularidade estética, à sua importância botânica e comunitária. Ao contrário do que aconteceu nas edições anteriores em que os Portugueses premiaram exemplares arbóreos característicos dos sistemas produtivos agro-florestais – os montados e os soutos, pela primeira vez neste concurso nacional foi eleita uma árvore ornamental, exótica em Portugal e que foi provavelmente introduzida por gregos ou romanos que a utilizavam devido à sua sombra. O Plátano do Rossio é assim, o eleito para representar Portugal no concurso europeu Tree of the Year. Durante o mês de fevereiro de 2021, todos poderão escolher a sua árvore preferida a nível Europeu através de um sistema de votação on-line.

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.
