Through the Streets of Madragoa

Through the Streets of Madragoa - Monday, 27 May, 10h15 - 12h45

Join us on this historic walking tour through the popular neighbourhood of Madragoa, located between Santos and Estrela.

Starting from the old Santos beach and passing several palaces on our way to the top of the hill, we'll walk through the streets of this picturesque Lisbon neighborhood which, despite not being in the "heart" of the old city, also has many stories to tell.

Madragoa was actually not only populated by the local fisherman of the Tejo, who moved here from Alfama, but also by nobleman, slaves and clergymen. The neighbourhood houses houses three convents in a small area which have since become public buildings and museums (the Convento das Bernardas which houses the Marionette Museum).
