It’s a truly passionate love that binds us to Lisbon. It’s a familial, cultural, lifelong love, but a constant love — never ceasing to exist and renewing itself at every street corner, every ray of sunshine and every encounter.
What fire fuels this passion?It’s fed both by the joy of being able to see and take part in its daily evolution, and by the desire to preserve its authenticity, which has been built over centuries and has withstood many disasters. This blend gives it a charm unique in the world.
That’s how we created a new selection of articles dedicated specifically to the memory of Lisbon, to what it once was. When it was in its purest, poorest and rawest state.
We’ll begin this photographic-memory series with the Baixa district, for whichwe’ve selected 10 photos that let you dive into history…
These photographs come from the municipal archives of the city of Lisbon.
