Lisbon

Alfama

With its heart and soul in the Mediterranean and a history linked to the Atlantic, Lisbon is one of Europe’s most intriguing cities. But whatever its origin, Lisbon enjoys a dramatic mythical setting on seven hills that stretch along the banks of the river Tagus.The city, from where the great explorers set off to discover new continents in the 15th century is as visionary and as cosmopolitan today; its monuments and stunning architecture is now the backdrop to vibrant creativity, culture and business.

Here you can find the best of both worlds: pleasure and work.

Lisboa is a historic capital, an amalgam of 800 years of cultural influences that mingle with modern trends and life style creating intricate and spectacular contrasts.

Lisboa is located only a few hours flight away from rest of Europe. 1-3 hours from most major European cities and 6-8 hours from the Americas.

Value for money - Lisboa is placed amongst the major European cities with most competitive accommodation rates, especially taking in consideration quality and service.

Richly captivating, Lisboa invites you!

The Venue Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

Ever since first engaging in activities in the 1950s, the Foundation has responded to the most fundamental needs of Portuguese society across its four statutory fields of activity: Art, Charity, Education and Science. In keeping with the progressive development of the country, the Foundation’s role has been redefined: the priorities are no longer only Portuguese or those of Portuguese language countries and now fall within an international framework and interrelated with global questions such as intercultural dialogue, migrations, mobility and the environment. This context reflects the background to the currently established Gulbenkian Programmes as well as the projects and initiatives undertaken by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. These programs are undertaken either directly or in partnership with other entities that impact on the themes prevailing in contemporary society through seeking out innovative responses to the problems the world currently faces.

Sintra Essentially romantic in character this town was poetically described by Lord Byron as "this glorious Eden". It was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Original Sintra is not a large place to visit but it is very worth while for its charm and visual links with the past.

The thousand-year-old history of the Palace of the Town of Sintra began during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Already mentioned in texts from the 11th century, the original Moorish Palace became the property of the Portuguese Crown after the conquest of the city of Lisbon by Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, in 1147. It was first subjected to alteration work in 1281, in the reign of King Dinis, and new extensions were later added to the building over time, in the reigns of the kings Dinis, João I and Manuel I, although it has largely maintained its present-day outline since the mid-16th century.

ÓbidosThe visitor this charming small and fortified town is suggestive of a medieval film set. It has been carefully preserved and its inhabitants take careful pride in maintaining the architectural image of days gone by. Impressive 18th Century blue tiles line the walls within the southern gate that is appropriately known as Porta da Vila and acts as the main entrance.

Batalha MonasteryThe Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, also known as the Monastery of Batalha, is without doubt one of the most beautiful examples of Portuguese and European architecture.This dazzling architectural ensemble was born out of a promise the King, João I, made in thanks for his victory at Aljubarrota, a battle fought on August 14, 1385, which assured him the throne and guaranteed independence for Portugal.The construction took over 150 years, across various phases. This is the reason why one can find not only gothic style (for the most part), but also manualine style and some renaissance touches.

Arrabida Arrábida Natural Park is a park located on the northern shore of the Sado River estuary in Portugal. It is one of the 30 areas which are officially under protection in the country.The park covers the Arrábida Hills, the Mediterranean-like vegetation and microclimate of which resemble Adriatic locations such as Dalmatia. The highest point in the park is the Serra da Arrábida at an elevation of 499 metres (1,637 ft). Over looking the beaches is the Convento da Arrabida, which was established in the 16th century.

July 10, 2016Casa do Leão, St. Jorge's Castle

The Castelo de S. Jorge – National Monument occupies a privileged area of the old medieval alcáçova (citadel) and consists of the castle, ruins of the former royal palace and part of the neighborhood for the elite.The fortification, built by the Moors in the mid-11th century, was the last defensive stronghold for the elite who resided in the citadel, the Moorish governor whose palace was nearby, and the city administrators whose homes are visible today in the Archaeological Site.Due to its exceptional location, Castelo de S. Jorge stands out among Lisbon’s belvederes for its unique and majestic sights.
