    Escadinhas de Sao Cristovao

    The first fado singer of all times was this lady, Maria Severa, a lady from the streets that used to work on the streets. Do you know what I mean? “Fado Vadio” is a type of Fado that doesn’t follow any rules, it’s like a free and wild fado, sung mostly in the streets. This is the Fado that Maria Severa invented. You also have Fernando Mauricio, a legend in Mouraria and a fado singer, born and raised here. Later on, we will go deep on his and Maria Severa life.

    The symbolic win and the biggest move the christians could do was to invade St. Jorge’s Castle, with that action, Lisbon would be taken by the Portuguese from the moors. That is the reason why Martim Moniz decided to throw himself into a closing door, allowing crusade soldiers to get into the Castle.
