Santo Estêvão Viewpoint
The forecourt of Santo Estêvão Church offers a close view of Alfama’s urban fabric: roofs, lanes and stairways descend towards the Tagus in the background. This is not a large panoramic terrace; its character comes from its direct relationship with the neighbourhood and the church’s position above a small square. It is a place to observe the irregular pattern of houses and the way the old city occupies the hillside. The outdoor stop can form part of a walk between the Fado Museum, Santa Luzia and Campo de Santa Clara, independently of access to the church interior.
