After the great earthquake of 1755, when the centre of Lisbon was destroyed, a new centre was constructed, made of grid pattern “geometrical” streets. This area, situated between Praça do Comércio, Rossio and Praça da Figueira is called Baixa. It is in Baixa, now the heart of Lisbon’s historical centre, where apartment number 3 is located. There are several other apartments at Baixa. The address is Beco dos Surradores. It is located at the bottom of the S. Jorge Castle (S. Jorge) district, in Baixa, at the back of Praça da Figueira, and in the area of Rua da Madalena and Poço do Borratem. The street leads to Lg. do Trigueirinho, and later to Largo da Rosa and Rua Costa do Castelo. It is located on a pedestrian street built over cobblestone stairs, one of the main characteristics of Lisbon’s historic districts. You are within a few minutes walk to the castle, Bairro Alto and Alfama with all their historical sights, monuments, bars and restaurants. The area is served by 2 subway lines, numerous bus lines, and tram lines that will help you explore the city and nearby tourist sights such as Sintra and Cascais or the beaches around Caparica and the Estoril coast. Come and see for yourself! You can check the location of the neighborhood and the street in the following link:
