Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano (Pass By)

You will stop here and find a spot to look at the ruins of the theatre. The building was plausibly erected at the time of Augustus, at the end of the Ist c. BC. Ancient Olisipo had by then already gained its full Roman name: Felicitas Iulia Olisipo. It seems that the name was given by Julius Caesar, and it isn't surprising that Caesar's adoptive son and successor Augustus favoured the city and promoted its development in favour of the Roman influence. Hear more from your guide, Veronica on the history of this theatre.

Moreover, this is one of the most convenient spots to take breathtaking pictures of the famous tram #28, one of the icons of modern Lisbon.

Miradouro de Santa Luzia (Pass By)

You will climb a few stairs to reach one of the most famous miradouros of Lisbon, where "miradouro" stands for "panoramic viewpoint, or terrace with a view." This lookout point is named Miradouro de Santa Luzia named after the church of St. Lucia which will be in front of you. Your audio guide, Veronica will tell you about the azulejos, the typical Portuguese tin-glazed ceramic tilework. From here, you'll walk the terrace to the right of the church.

Miradouro das Portas do Sol (Pass By)

Enjoy more views from the iconic panoramic terrace known as Miradouro das Portas do Sol. It owes its name to the presence of an ancient city gate, called "do Sol," which means "of the sun," since it was located in the easternmost part of the old city. The terrace offers you a view, again, over the Mar da Palha but, if you get closer to the parapet, you have a stunning view from above of one of the oldest districts of Lisbon: the Alfama district. You will hear about the Alfama district, learning more about the history and location from your audio guide, Veronica.

Cerca Velha (Pass By)

While you walk, please notice the massive wall on your right. It's part of what is known as "Cerca Velha," or "Old city wall" of Lisbon, built around the 11th century during the Moorish period and covering approximately the ancient outline of the late Roman city walls of Olisipo. Marvel at The ceiling of this passage, which has been decorated with a lovely mural by Lisbon-born artist Nuno Saraiva. Like in a comic strip, you can see the whole history of Lisbon unfolding in front of your eyes. The story starts on the right-hand side at the top right, where you'll find reference to the old legend that says Ulysses, the Greek hero, would have reached the mouth of the Tagus during his peregrinations after the Trojan War, and in some myths, he's regarded as the first real founder of the city later to become Lisbon.
