Sé de Lisboa
A fortress-like Romanesque cathedral at the edge of Alfama.
Its massive towers recall that the cathedral also served as a stronghold. It is a natural stop when climbing from Baixa towards the castle.
Our Alfama guide covers what else is around. About 4 minutes' walk away is MUDE - Museu do Design. It is part of the Lisbon in 1 day itinerary. If you do Tomar and Almourol Castle, you can add this on your way back into Lisbon. By metro, get off at Terreiro do Paço (about 280 m on foot).
