Belém gives you imperial scale; Alfama gives you lived grain. Seeing both in sequence reveals Lisbon’s full heritage register.
Chapter One: Belém
- Formal axes
- Maritime symbolism
- Monumental stone language
Chapter Two: Alfama
- Narrow lanes and quick elevation changes
- Domestic façades and everyday thresholds
- Soundscape of local routine
The contrast is not conflict; it is completeness.
