Alfama Introduction Project

If Lisbon is the storybook’s setting, then Alfama is an unlikely heroine. She is old and rundown. Her beauty is fast fading through flaking paintwork and cracked wall tiles. She is a little bit sad and downcast, but somehow still strangely magnetic. The reason? Easy. Alfama’s got what even award-winning architects and town planners can’t muster, that’s personality.
