Red Door

starting at €90.00

The terrace courtyard of Castelo de Sāo Jorge offers impressive views over the red rooftops to the Tagus River. Construction of the Moorish fortress began in the 10th century, and the walls have sheltered the political, religious, and military elite of many eras. It has served as a royal archive, a zoo, a theater, a prison, and a hospital. The cobblestones have been worn down not only by millions of locals, from Berbers to Portuguese, but also by millions of visitors from all over the world. The pigeons have probably lived there since the beginning of time, when, according to legend, Odysseus founded Lisbon.

PEOPLE´S ERA – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are probably stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made from leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments to the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells us about the people who lived thousands of years before us, their adversities, and their hopes. They are not just ruins, but fragments of a shared story.
