Iconic Building in Campolide

Lisbon: Location and surroundings of this property

Campolide was once a good farmland, where there were several farms. All along the slope there were olive groves, orchards and vineyards. Currently, these hills “hide” a calm and safe neighbourhood, with houses mostly from the 70s. Almost the entire neighbourhood is made up of buildings, but there is a very interesting area (the Calçada dos Mestres neighbourhood) overlooking the Águas Livres aqueduct. , where we find townhouses with backyards. Young, elderly and families live here. There is the movement of those who leave in the morning and return at night, but also of those who live here during the day: for a trip to the street grocery store, or even to Amoreiras for another type of shopping. Most of the commerce is concentrated in this center that was a few years ago the largest in the city. Despite being a quiet neighbourhood, this is where all the traffic from the Center passes and goes either to the South or to the Cascais line (and vice versa in the morning). And whoever takes this route will come across the Águas Livres Aqueduct, an emblematic and grandiose work of Lisbon from the 19th century. XVIII, a complex system of capture and distribution of water to the city. A must visit for those who don't know. It is important to mention the presence of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, a pole of attraction for young people to the area, which consequently has helped to develop commerce and services.
