Baixa is a neoclassical neighborhood in
Lisbon with grid-like streets. It was
developed after the 1755 eathquake
devastated the area
Before 1755 opulent palaces stood here.
Now simple and uniform buildings, built for
tradesmen and merchants, occupy the area
The neighborhood starts at Praça do
Comércio (Commerce Square). The square
was once the city's trade center with finance
ministries and port authorities
The Baixa's streets retain their original
names. The names match the trades of the
people that once worked here: ouro (gold),
prata (silver), sapateiros (cobblers)
The area's main street is called Rua
Augusta that connects Praça do Comércio
and Praça de Pedro IV (a.k.a. Rossio)

Sé Chatedral is Lisbon's oldest church
dating back to 1147.
It was built by Dom Afonso Henriques,
Portugal's first king, after he reconquered
the city from the Moors who ruled the city for
4 centuries.
The city's main mosque was torn down and
this Romanesque cathedral was erected on
its site.
The Romanesque main façade with two
castellated towers and a beautiful rosette
window above the main portal is one of the
highlights of the church.
Today the church exhibits a number of
architectural styles as a result of
reconstructions and extentions (Gothic side
chapels, tombs and iron portals).
The remains of Lisbon's official patron saint,
St Vincent, are kept here.
