📍 ROMAN GALLERIES OF LISBON
Discovered under the streets of downtown Lisbon (Baixa Pombalina) in 1771 following the earthquake of 1755.
This Roman structure is what is known as a “cryptoporticus”, an architectural solution that created a horizontal support platform in an area where slope stability was an issue, thus allowing the construction of buildings of great dimensions, usually public buildings.
The Museum of Lisbon opens the galleries only twice a year (in April and September) because the levels of humidity and water inside the galleries are essential to their preservation and must be kept stable.
When the monument is closed, the water table is more than one metre deep, coming from an aquifer running beneath the city. It is thus necessary to pump the water out and clean the space to provide safe access to the interior of the monument.
📍Praia da Adraga - Located on the western side of the Serra de Sintra, this paradise is one of the finest beaches of this coastline.
CASTLE OF MONSARAZ - (Castelo de Monsaraz) is a picturesque castle perched on the highest point in the walled village of Monsaraz in the Alto Alentejo region.
The area was under the control of the Moors during the Islamic period of Portugal’s history.
