Saint Anthony

Intimate concerts, in the atmosphere of a real fado house, with some of the local fado singers.

January 15th with Yola Dinis

More than just a religious figure, Santo António is a symbol deeply rooted in Lisbon's cultural and emotional identity.

Discover the life and legacy of one of the world's most popular saints, who was born next to the Cathedral.

Through objects, images and traditions, this visit is designed for those who want to get to know the saint better, but also the city that saw him born and continues to celebrate him with such devotion.

In Lisbon, June is synonymous with festivities, color and tradition, the month in which we celebrate Saint Anthony. But do we have to wait until summer to celebrate?

In this workshop, after delving into the popular traditions and stories that make St. Anthony one of the city's most beloved saints, each participant is invited to create their own festive symbol: a decorated bow, a throne, a basil or even a rhyming quatrain! Because in Lisbon... there's a party all year round! All it takes is imagination!

It starts at the house where Saint Anthony was born and, crossing the eastern part of the city, culminates at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Assumption, in the Vale de Santo António. Along the way, you can visit the tower and the baptismal font of the Lisbon Cathedral, the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, among other places related to St. Anthony's life in Lisbon.

In the streets of Lisbon in the Middle Ages, no one walked around bareheaded! Scarves, berets, worn for work, for parties, for court life... there were many shapes and forms of this headgear!

Upside down, upside down... or with a completely unexpected twist? Here, imagination rules!

In this workshop, participants are invited to explore traditions, play with shapes and reinvent the iconic Saint Anthony in their own way. With small hands and endless imagination, everyone will bring their own version of this Lisbon figure to life, ready to be taken home and become part of new stories.
