Moorish Lisbon
The Tour
Welcome to the Muslim city of Uxbuna! Adventure yourself in the streets and alleys of this ancient town, discover the old city wall and follow the footsteps of walis, muladis and enchanted Moorish princesses!
Along the river Tejo the narrow ways of Alfama and Mouraria, and the best archaeological sites in the city, will take you to the past and to a hidden Lisbon, filled with little courtyards, baths, palaces and excellent views from the top of the hill.
With some Christian Crusades in the mix, the city of before comes to life with stories of kings and crusaders from the past, while they join us in the Castle of Saint Jorge. Among the ruins of the old royal palace and the Moorish quarters, or on the top of the high walls of the citadel, everything is worth seeing in the place where Lisbon was born.
Hidden under the Lisbon of today are remains and characters that you can’t miss! Come with us to the Moorish Lisbon and hear all about them!
