O povo está na rua. Praças e paços das revoluções (The people on the streets!
The squares and streets of revolutions)

April 27th, 11am

Rebellion and conspiracy! Many ingredients are needed to make a revolution. Throughout its history, Lisbon has been the stage of multiple coups, insurrections, riots, rebellions, and revolts that would forever change the country's destiny. On this journey through squares and palaces, we revisit the sites of the main revolutions, from 1385 to 1974.
