History
Alfama is Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood with Moorish street patterns preserved after the 1755 earthquake reshaped much of the downtown below.
Conservation
High foot traffic stresses narrow streets and historic facades — stick to sidewalks, avoid blocking residents’ doorways, and support local shops rather than large chains.
