The hidden tower





In ancient times, the Lisbon's Castle was surrounded and protected by two walls: the oldest was the wall Moura (or Old) and the second was the wall Nova (or Fernandina). One of the main access of the wall Moura was in the modern Martim Moniz Square, site of an intense battle between the Christian knights and the Islamic troops. Of this battle, today, no trace remains ...  
almost ...!


 
Lisbon is a city full of mysteries and surprises, where ancient and forgotten stories are linked with contemporary issues and events. Come with us to hear the story of the city's reconquest and the modern problems of the multicultural neighborhoods.


Listen the stories of a different Lisbon, be yourself!

Street Art







 





In Lisbon the street art isn't only protected, but sometimes even encouraged! For example, in this street of the city center, the artists have panels on which they can paint their works and, every six months, the panels are changed. In this way, the street artists are happy for the opportunity to show their works to the world and the municipality because the walls of the city are not dirty!

If you like street art choose to do the "street art tour", or ask us to include some streets, such as this, in your personal tour.

Choose what you want see, help us to organize YOUR personal tour, be yourself!
