Chiado, Lisbon
The small district of Chiado stretches out west of the Baixa until the Bairro Alto. A large part of the district was severely damaged by the fire of 1998, which burst out from a shop and spread all around. The narrow streets and lanes of the borough made the work of firemen very difficult. After 10 years, Chiado is starting a cultural and artistic renaissance. Here stand the São Carlos theatre, Trindade theatre, the archaeological museum do Carmo and the Museu do Chiado.
The heart of the borough is the area between Rua Garrett and Praça Luis de Camões. The square is dominated by the bronze statue of the famous Portuguese poet Camões, lying opposite the statue of another immortal literate Pessoa, who is represented sitting at the caffè A Brasileira.
