” In the heart of the historical area of Lisbon, next to the church of Santo António (Baroque of the XVIII century), and the Lisbon Cathedral (Cathedral of the XII century) arises this magnificent apartment that kept the original design after a remodelling carried out by the current owners. Although being in a very touristy region and close to all the traditional restaurants and houses of Fado, the traditional local business of the Pombaline downtown, the trams and the Tuck-Tuck that help to colour the streets and that provide it a special frenzy, this apartment is located in a very calm and quiet street. It is placed in a building of Pombaline architecture and without elevator, on a second floor, very easy to access via a wide staircase, and with the walls coated with tiled panelling of traditional Portuguese tiles. In the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon, this was the area that suffered the most, with Sebastião José Carvalho e Melo, the Marquis of Pombal, being the person responsible for the reconstruction of the city. He commissioned a group of Portuguese and foreign engineers to draw the new profile of the city, and instead of reconstructing it using the antique streets as a reference, they became wider and paved and with the beautiful Portuguese sidewalk. This Apartment breathes History! Former property of the Marquis of Pombal himself, as the coat of arms on the façade of the building proves, it is distributed as follows: – Large dimensioned social areas with living room and dining area – Kitchen – 2 bedrooms en suite – 1 Bedroom – 1 Interior bedroom -1 Bathroom to support the bedrooms and also social – Wide circulation corridors – Two entrance doors (visits and service) With ample windows and the social area facing South/West, the house is full of light, excellent to receive with all comfort.
