Located
in
the
heart
of
Alfama,
it
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
churches
in
the
neighborhood.
From
its
churchyard
we
can
enjoy
a
beautiful
view
of
the
houses,
the
Tagus
that
kisses
our
feet
and
the
boats
that
cross
it
daily
carrying
workers
between
its
two
banks
in
contrast
to
the
large
cruise
ships
that
dock
at
its
bay.
In
addition
to
being
a
place
of
worship,
this
church
was
also
a
primary
school
with
two
separate
classrooms.
The
boys'
and
the
girls'.
At
that
time,
the
classes
were
not
mixed
and
the
children
did
not
mix
in
the
playground
in
the
churchyard,
with
the
boys
on
the
side
of
the
main
entrance
to
the
church
and
the
girls
on
the
side
entrance
where
the
large
pine
tree
is
located.
This
church
has
a
cruise
in
its
churchyard
that
was
the
theme
of
the
fado
song
named
after
it.
"
In
the
church
of
Santo
Estevão,
Next
to
the
churchyard
cross
There
were
guitar
attacks
at
the
time.
Fadistas,
how
much
I
miss
you
Of
the
old
camaraderie..."
Well
and
so
on.
Go
visit
Alfama,
its
alleys
and
steps,
its
monuments
and
its
people,
although
there
are
no
longer
as
many
as
in
my
time
as
a
girl
and
teenager
when
these
streets
were
teeming
with
people
at
any
time
of
the
day,
and
let
yourself
be
lulled
by
the
taste
of
history.
