Mouraria

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:38:55

The old Moorish quarter lies at the western end of Praça Sacadura Cabral. It’s a well-preserved tight cluster of narrow, cobbled lanes and white terraced cottages with chunky or turreted chimneys.

The Núcleo Árabe , just off Largo da Mouraria, is a pocket collection of Moorish ceramics and other remains – carved stone inscriptions and a 14th-century Arabic well. Visits must be arranged through the Museu Municipal.
