What you'll see
Lisbon's oldest quarter: a tangle of steep lanes, stairways and tiny squares, laundry hanging between tiled houses, and the sound of fado drifting out of small restaurants at night.
A brief history
Its rock foundations helped it survive the great earthquake of 1755 that flattened the lower city, which is why its medieval street plan is still here.
