Portugal's architecture made its artistic statement. It
developed its style, like all aspects of Portuguese culture noted in the
history of the country, and many people that have settled and influenced the
current Portuguese territory. These settlers include Romans and Suebians, among
other related Germanic peoples, Visigoths, and Arabs. Influence from the main
European artistic centers, such as Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque,
and Neoclassicism, are also present. Among the primary local manifestations of
Portuguese architecture are the Manueline, the exuberant Portuguese version of
late Gothic, and the Pombaline style that developed after the Great Lisbon
earthquake of 1755.
I'd love to help you plan your trip to see Portugal's
beautiful architecture, so be sure to call or email me when you're ready to
