Beato

Beato is a historic parish in eastern Lisbon that stretches across distinct neighborhoods and residential areas. The district contains older buildings and public spaces that reflect how the city developed over generations.

A convent was founded here in the 15th century and influenced how the region grew for centuries after. In the 19th century, the religious buildings were converted into factories, marking a major shift in how people used the area.

The convent displays religious artworks and local crafts that show how people here practiced their faith over time. These collections reflect the spiritual life that shaped the neighborhood for centuries.

The area spans several neighborhoods connected by main streets, so having directions helps when exploring. Walking is possible throughout, and public spaces offer good vantage points to understand how the district is organized.

A former biscuit factory housed inside the old convent shows how industry transformed the city in the 1800s. This building tells the story of how religious spaces were repurposed for manufacturing work.
