Portugal - Lisbon, Alfama
Alfama is located on one of the seven hills of Lisbon, between Castelo de São Jorge ( www.ipernity.com/doc/294067/49372046 ) and the Tagus river. Alfama is Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood. During the time of Moorish rule, the city consisted only of Alfama. The district became inhabited by the fishermen and the poor. Nowadays Alfama has shrugged off this grim reputation and has transformed into a fashionable and artisan district, but still retains its unique character and rich heritage.
The name of the district also dates back from this period. Alfama comes from the Arabic al hamma which means “baths” or “hot fountains”. In the past there were hot springs at the foot of the hill. During the earthquake of 1755, the neighbourhood remained more or less untouched, which is why there are still many old buildings.
Alfama has a romantic, picturesque appearance and is a maze of steep cobbled streets, narrow alleys, tiny squares and steep stairs. It offers also some miradouros (viewpoints) with stunning views over the houses and roofs towards the Tagus river.
