Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)
The Praça do Comércio is a large, harbor-facing plaza. Facing the Tagus (Tejo) to the South, the plaza is still commonly known in Portuguese as Terreiro do Paço.
After the 1755 earthquake, the plaza was completely remodeled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline Downtown.
From the 19th century onwards, Praça do Comércio became the seat of some of the most important Portuguese state departments.

From its inauguration on 6 August 1966 up to 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge. After the Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's regime, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. It is also commonly called the Tagus River Bridge.
The 25 de Abril Bridge is based in part on two San Francisco Bay Area bridges. Its paint is the same International Orange color as the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and its design is similar to that of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. Both the Bay Bridge and the 25 de Abril Bridge were built by the same company.

The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon situated in Almada.

Castelo, Alfama & Mouraria
São Jorge Castle is a historic castle that stands on a hill that has played an important part in the history of Lisbon. Since the 12th century, the castle has variously served as a royal palace, a military barracks, home of the Torre do Tombo National Archive, and now as a national monument and museum.
Alfama, the oldest district of Lisbon, spreads down the southern slope from the Castle of São Jorge to the River Tagus. Its name, derived from the Arabic Al-hamma, means fountains or baths. While the 1755 Lisbon earthquake caused considerable damage throughout the capital, Alfama survived with little damage.
The Mouraria, or Moorish quarter, is one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, although most of its old buildings were demolished by the Estado Novo between the 1930s and the 1970s. It takes its name from the fact that after the reconquest of Lisbon, the Muslims who remained were confined to this part of the city.
