Codfish History Interpretation Center & Rua Augusta Arch

On September 18th, Saudade School took its students for the very first time to the Codfish History Interpretation Center:

• The exhibition was dedicated to codfish and the connection of the Portuguese people with the sea.
• It emerged in Portuguese eating habits starting in the 15th century.
• Life on board is also evoked through objects and oral testimonies from fishermen.

During the visit, it was also possible to maneuver a dory boat and experience the loneliness and low temperatures to which line fishermen were subjected.

After that, we visited the Rua Augusta Arch, an iconic and representative monument of the city of Lisbon:

The Rua Augusta Arch provided access to a viewpoint offering a 360º panoramic view over the city. The emblematic Terreiro do Paço square, the Baixa Pombalina, the Sé Cathedral, the São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River are some of the iconic landmarks we saw from the top of the building!
