Green tiles on a facade in the Castelo district of Lisbon, Portugal - stock photo

The Castle is one of the noblest areas and with more tradition in Lisbon, and marks the birth of Lisbon. Years of history and a magnificent view of the city and the river, make this hill so special. The surrounding area of the Castle, with its popular neighborhoods and typical little streets, provides unforgettable walks where you can find old bakeries and grocery stores and traditional shops for tourists. In Lisbon, many of the buildings in the old quarters are covered with tiles. The patterns that form in their facades, the contrasts of colors and textures and the decadent air that some have makes the streets look even more picturesque and beautiful.
