Lisboa - LxFactory

A factory complex from 1846 was reborn in 2008 as a “factory” of creativity and experiences. It kept the industrial spaces and invited companies related to the arts, which later brought shops, cafés and restaurants.

"The Legend:

The Land of Dragons lies on the back of a turtle. The turtle stands on three wales. The wales are swimming in an endless ocean. The ocean rests on the wind of the dragon's wings. Dragons are the creatures of this world. From time to time they fly down to earth. Nowadays there are only a few places that serve this purpose. These places are the territories of the Lands of the Dragon"

Tomar - Aqueduto dos Pegões

The Aqueduct was built with the purpose of supplying the Convent of Christ in Tomar, and is about 6 km long.

Its construction began in 1593 under the direction of Philip Terzio and was completed in 1614 by Pedro Fernando de Torres.

The aqueduct has 58 full-back arches, at its highest point, on 16 ogival arches resting on pillars. Its maximum height is 30 meters. At the ends it presents vaulted houses, which have in the center, a large sink for the decanting of the water.
