Fin-de-siècle Lisbon, 1890
Lisbon in 1890 stands between the rebuilt Pombaline Baixa and newly cut boulevards, a capital reshaped after the quake yet turning toward modernity. The walk moves from the Tagus waterfront through the ordered Baixa, the theatrical Rossio and Chiado, the hillside Alfama where fado lives, up to the castle ramparts that watch over the city and river.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lisbon as it stood in 1890 (“History of Lisbon”).
