Lisbon - Graça

The Graça quarter, which lies on a hill northeast of the Castelo de Sao Jorge, is a very interesting and lively part of the city. At the turn of the century many houses were built here for the families of workers. The facades, some extremely narrow, give an indication of the cramped living conditions to be found inside.

An example of these workers' houses can be seen in the Largo da Graça; through an entranceway (no. 82), the "Villa Sousa" is found in a courtyard.
