The Miradouro de Santa Luzia is a public viewing terrace in Lisbon's Alfama, on the Largo das Portas do Sol e de Santa Luzia, looking out over the district to the Tagus.

Why go

The Miradouro de Santa Luzia is a viewpoint in Alfama that Wikidata records as run by Lisbon City Council. Visit Lisboa describes its decorative tiles, garden and pond and the trams that pass by, and a view in which the dome of Santa Engrácia, the church of Santo Estêvão and the two towers of São Miguel can be picked out, with the Tagus behind. It also points to the tile panels by António Quaresma, which show Praça do Comércio before the 1755 earthquake and the taking of the castle from the Moors. This record is the terrace itself, not the Alfama district below it.
