It is another rainy day in Lisbon when I go to Lisbon to shoot some photo's in the Alfama, one of the most beautiful areas of this city which survived the earthquake of 1755. Here you can find still the feeling of the medieval period when Lisbon got rid of the muslim domination. I walk through the area around the Igreja Sau Miguel. Once this was a Jewish Ghetto, the Juderia Pequena, untill in februari 1506 two Dominican Monks spread from their churchbalcony the luminous message that all Jews where heretics. It was in the time of the catolic inquisition and there was a long time of dryness and the city was attacked by the plague, so this words lead to the slaughter and burning of thousands of the Jewish Population and the end of the Juderia Pequena........

Some details from the entrance from the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Concençao Velha, An old church from the 16 century which is build on the fundaments of a Jewish synagoge.
Returning to the Baixa, the downtown centre of Lisbon I meet the Beatles and watch the Rossio trainstation under water!
