Roman Lisbon – 28 March
The Romans conquered Lisbon in 138 BC, after which it became part of the Empire. While the settlement’s economic and commercial dynamism dated back to antiquity, it was under Roman rule that Lisbon became a significant city, the most important on the Atlantic coast. This tour will reveal how the Romans transformed and organised Olisipo.
Lisbon and the Tagus River – 18 April
The Tagus River played a key role in the development of Lisbon. It served as an anchor for economic development, a gateway to the world, and a public space for recreation. The riverside area has adapted over time and has been the subject of various urban plans. On this tour, we will examine the evolution of urban planning and how the city got closer to the river, particularly through recent rehabilitation projects.
Lisbon during the Estado – 9 May
The Estado Novo, the political regime designed by António Salazar and officially accepted in 1933, presented itself as a regime that sought to create something new, something that would reflect the national style but also mirror a new national resurgence. It was with this objective in mind that António Salazar promoted a programme of public works, the reconstruction of national monuments, and drove the first wave of modernism in Portugal. On this tour, we will learn about public and private projects and urban plans.
Led by Ana Fernandes Pinto, a researcher at CHAM-FCSH/NOVA, the tours are free and conducted in English. Advance registration is required using the form.
