Medieval Lisbon
The Tour
An amazing walk in Lisbon’s old town! Explore the small streets and hidden corners, discover hidden churches and palaces and experience the local life of Lisbon’s typical neighborhoods!
After an important crusade in 1147, the new Christian Lisbon develops and grows under the new reign and a different religion. The old Moorish city is slowly covered by cathedrals and churches, new neighborhoods and the long History of the Kingdom of Portugal.
From the river to one of the oldest monasteries in the city, join us on our walk and get to know this medieval city, surrounded by the Fernandina City Wall and filled with life and stories.
Visit the Monastery of Saint Vicente de Fora and return to the time when both crusaders and moçarabs crossed paths in a military camp. Don’t know what a moçarab is? We’ll tell you!
Explore the Lisbon of old with us, get to know its inhabitants and feel the anticipation that took over the city in the wake of the Maritime Discoveries.
