Igreja Sao Domingos (Sao Domingos Church) by dshay

Sao Domingos Church lies just to the east of Rossio Square, Lisbon’s main downtown square. There are plenty of churches to see in Lisbon and compared architecturally with many others Sao Domingos isn’t anything special. What makes the church unique is its link to probably the most sordid period in Portugal’s history, the Inquisition. The Inquisition in Portugal lasted for about 300 years and during that period it is estimated that more than 40,0000 Conversos were put to death. ( Conversos were those who had theoretically converted from Judaism to Catholicism. The Inquisition targeted Conversos that were suspected of actually retaining their old religious practices). It is on the steps of the church of Sao Domingos that the sentences for those to be executed were handed down.

Largo de Sao Domoingos (Sao Domingos Square)-Photo Op by dshay

Very near Rossio Square, the central square of downtown Lisbon, lies Sao Domingos Square -- the location of one of the most important memorials in Lisbon. Modern day Lisbon prides itself on being a city of tolerance. That was certainly not always the case. On this location in 1506, some 30 years before the inquisition was formally commenced, more than 2,000 Jews were burned alive. A memorial has now been erected to acknowledge that terrible time in Portuguese history and to make it clear that such intolerance is no longer part of Portugal’s makeup. The memorial is moving and worth a visit. It is often overlooked by tourists because it is a bit off most main walking routes but it is worth the minor detour.

Alfama -- (Photo Op) by dshay

The Alfama is one of the most picturesque and historically interesting areas of Lisbon. No trip to Lisbon would be complete without a stroll through the Alfama. The word, Alfama, is a derivative of an Arabic word meaning hot springs and is reflective of the enduring Moorish influence in Lisbon. Take Tram 28 up to the stop for St. George’s Castle. Enjoy the view of the city from the viewpoint (miradouro) and then walk down the steps next to the viewpoint and start wondering the medieval alleys. At night the area comes alive with numerous restaurants and fado houses.

Vasco da Gama Bridge - Longest Bridge in Europe (Photo Op) by dshay

Vasco da Gama Bridge can be easily viewed from the Park of the Nations. At 17km(11 miles) it is the longest bridge in Europe. The design is stunning and makes for a stunning view from the Park of Nations. The bridge is so long that engineers needed to factor in the curvature of the earth which presented a very unique design challenge.

Avenida da Liberdade (Photo Op) by dshay

Photo op. The grandest boulevard in Lisbon, the Avenida da Liberdade was constructed in the 19th Century in the style of the Champs-Elysees in Paris. As you would expect, the grandest boulevard in Lisbon offers many great photo ops. It is lined with fine shops, hotels, restaurants and mansions. It is a very reasonable 1.6 km (1 mile) long stroll stretching from the downtown area to Marques do Pombal park. Your stroll along the Avenida will be packed with experiences of grandeur so often associated with Lisbon.
