Lisbon - Miradouro de Santa Luzia

On Alfama's northwestern edge on Rua do Limoeiro lies the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, one of the city's finest view points. From here a marvelous view across Alfama's roof tops to the Tagus, the Igreja de Santo Estêvao and the white dome of Santa Engrâcio can be enjoyed.

The viewpoint is in the form of a small park situated on part of the old city wall, which King Ferdinand I had laid out between 1373 and 1375. The original wall contained 34 doors and 77 towers, although only a few relics remain today.
