Historical Context

Alfama survived the devastating 1755 Lisbon earthquake largely intact because its Moorish-era foundations rest on solid bedrock rather than the alluvial soil that liquefied elsewhere.

Insider Tip

Start at Portas do Sol viewpoint before 9am — tour groups arrive by 10am and the miradouro becomes too crowded to appreciate the rooftop panorama.
