This beloved viewpoint is nestled within the ancient Alfama district, a labyrinthine neighborhood that resisted the 1755 earthquake, preserving much of its medieval charm and cultural heritage. The stunning views encompass the red-tiled roofs of Alfama, the domes of the National Pantheon, and the sparkling river, offering a visual narrative of Lisboa's rich past. Locals and visitors alike gather here to soak in the beauty, often accompanied by the melancholic sounds of Fado drifting from nearby taverns.
