	Place to see in Lisbon: Alfama
		In Alfama, it is still possible to see Roman and Arab remains, two of the most dominant civilizations in Lisbon's past.
		Alfama was once home to the unlucky, delinquents or non-grateful and due to its proximity with the river it was also the home of many sailors.
		Rebuilt by the local population after the 1755 earthquake, Alfama was to be demolished but the decision didn't go through as this region of Lisbon was thankfully considered to be a living history book where the past blends with the present.

	Old Quarter, Lisbon
		The name Alfama is also derived from Arabian origins and probably evolved from the word al-Hama, the name of the thermal spring which once bubbled here.
		As the city of Lisbon is fully aware of Alfama's attraction to visitors, it gives financial support to the maintenance and improvement of the quarter's facades.
		Alfama's structure is such that few cars can enter there, emphasising the feeling of having been transported to a different time.

	Alfama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfama became inhabited by the fishermen and the poor, and its condition as the neighbourhood of the poor continues to this day.
		Overlooking the Alfama is the mediaeval Castle of São Jorge, royal residence until the early 16th century and now offering the best views of the city.
		In the slopes of Alfama there are other terraces (miradouros) from which to see the city, like the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, near the church of the same name and over remnants of the Moorish city walls, and the Miradouro das Portas do Sol (Gates of the Sun).

		Alfama is one of the few parts of Lisbon to escape damage during the 1755 earthquake.
		During the middle ages the wealthy residents for fear of earthquakes moved away from Alfama leaving it for the fishermen and peasants.
		Restoration is underway but despite the modernization, the quarter still retains a largely traditional life of its fishing community, compact houses lining steep streets and stairways with washing strung on patios.

		In east Lisbon, the Alfama was the Saracen sector centuries before its conquest by the Christians.

		As you explore, you'll be rewarded with a perspective of the contrasting styles of the Alfama, from a simple tile-roofed fishmonger's abode to a festively decorated baroque church.

		It still has the old exotic narrow winding cobblestone streets and stairs, although the houses are mostly more recent, dating from the 15th century, when Portugal ruled the seas, up to the 19th century.
		Having survived the devastating 1755 earthquake, fire, and flood that leveled most of Lisbon, the Alfama breathes a historic aura of conquerors and re-conquerors, the glorious age of exploration, and the romance of the sea and ships.
