Lisbon
The city centre or The Baixa like they call it, is organised in a gryd sistem and a network composed by squares that where built after the Lisbon eartquake who took place in 1755.
One of the main atractions is The Castle of Sao Jorge (Saint George) and the Lisbon Cathedral, there are both located in one of the seven hills of the city to the east of the centre.
The oldest district of Lisbon is Alfama located close to the Tagus, which has made it relatively unscathed through the various earthquakes.
