The story
Alfama is Lisbon's oldest and most traditional neighbourhood, a tangle of lanes and stairs between the river and the castle. Its cathedral, the Sé, was begun in 1147, the year Afonso Henriques took the city.
At the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, tile panels show Praça do Comércio as it looked before the earthquake of 1755, which reshaped the city below.
