Lisbon, Alfama View
Narrow lanes wind to the Tagus River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. The area was built by the Moors as a fishing village, about a thousand years ago.
With its deeply Moorish heritage and history as a fishing village, the Alfama is a survivor, the only section of Lisbon to survive a hellish earthquake in the late 18th Century. It’s like walking in history with the present breaking through in intermittent spaces. You can really get a feel for what it was like, once upon a time, to have your life center on climbing up and down this hill to and from the sea.
The Alfama district in Lisbon is one of the oldest and most historic neighborhoods in the city. It is located on a hill overlooking the river Tagus and is known for its narrow streets and colorful houses. The Alfama neighborhood was originally founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC and has been inhabited ever since. Today, the Alfama district is a popular tourist destination and is home to some of Lisbon’s most famous landmarks, including the Castelo de São Jorge and the Sé Cathedral. The Alfama neighborhood is also known for its lively nightlife and is home to many restaurants and bars.
