"Lisbon is a city where history and modern life intersect through its architecture. The downtown Baixa district showcases neoclassical buildings and orderly streets, reflecting its 18th-century reconstruction after a major earthquake. The Alfama district offers a glimpse of the city’s Moorish past, with its narrow, winding streets and buildings covered in azulejos (traditional tiles).
Historic landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower display the unique Manueline style, celebrating #Portugal’s seafaring history. Meanwhile, the modern Parque das Nações area, with buildings like the Vasco da Gama Tower, represents Lisbon’s contemporary side. Together, these diverse architectural styles create a cityscape that narrates Lisbon’s rich and evolving story."
