Speaking in Lisbon is an indescribable pleasure, Lisbon thousand delights, beautiful streets, lovely alleys, mystery, magic, romance and moments of great nostalgia.

Otherwise the atmosphere of mystery and magic is the same! I say this as if he had lived in the golden days in Lisbon, and who knows!
Lisbon has to be discovered by tourists on foot, it is fascinating to browse through the beautiful alleys and walk to Chiado, one of the most typical quarters of the capital of Portugal.
Marvel at the beautiful architecture of Pombal, Pombal why? After the 1755 earthquake, Lisbon was almost totally destroyed, about 85% of the buildings in Lisbon were destroyed, including famous palaces and libraries, convents, churches, hospitals and all structures. Marques de Pombal (Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo) rebuilt Lisbon, contributing financially to the reconstruction of it, as well as all coordination with the restructuring of the city.
Despite the reputation for rigorous and vindictive man, we must be fair, Marques de Pombal Lisbon remade and remade with mastery, Lisbon is a true architectural masterpiece. Lisbon has 764,657 inhabitants, the municipality of Lisbon is divided into 53 parishes (districts).
