Casa dos Bicos

Casa dos Bicos is a unique and iconic palace located in the heart of Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighborhood. Built in the 16th century, this building is remarkable not only for its architectural features, but also for its rich history. The building was constructed with pointed stones on the façade, hence the name ‘Casa dos Bicos’ (House of the Points). The interior of the house is a small museum where you can learn about its history and admire the stonework from the 16th century. Casa dos Bicos is truly a must-see for any visitor to Lisbon. It is a truly spectacular site for a leisurely stroll as it provides an amazing view of the Tejo River and the castle of São Jorge, which are both worth visiting.
