Baroque Lisbon, 1750
Lisbon stands in its last gilded years before the disaster of 1755: a royal capital of baroque churches, azulejo‑clad palaces and a busy Tagus harbour threaded with tall merchant ships and small fishing craft. This walk follows the river and the old quarters — quays, squares, the aqueduct's great arches, narrow Alfama lanes and the hilltop castle — showing the city's public face and everyday labour in 1750.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lisbon as it stood in 1750 (“History of Lisbon”).
