It is the oldest church in the city, built in 1147. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times, resulting in a mix of different architectural styles. It is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon, and has been classified as a National Monument since 1910

Alfama is the oldest and one of the most typical neighborhoods in Lisbon. Currently, it covers part of the parish of Santa Maria Maior and part of the parish of São Vicente. Its name derives from the Arabic al-hamma (الحمّة), meaning "spring of warm waters, good waters."

Located in Largo das Portas do Sol, in its name, in front of the Palácio Azurara, where it is installed in the Fundação Ricardo Espírito Santo Silva, on a privileged balcony on a hill in São Vicente and on two most cenographic points in the city. Dalí we see ourselves as the Igrejas de São Miguel and de Santo Estêvão, the Igreja e Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora, or the labyrinthine Bairro de Alfama, with the winding streets and roads, patios and traverses, escadarias and slopes, which extend along the Tagus River.

The Ruins of the Roman Theater, or Ruins of the Roman Theater dedicated to Nero, are located on the southern slope of the Castle of São Jorge, in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, formerly in the now-defunct parish of Sé, in Lisbon.[1]

The theater was built in the 1st century, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. It was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Nero, and during the reign of Constantine, it was partially dismantled. Abandoned in the 4th century, it remained buried until 1798, the year in which the ruins were discovered after the 1755 earthquake.
