In fact, there are few places that have such a unique and secular history as this room. During the works for the installation of the Hotel do Corpo Santo, pieces of Lisbon's history of incalculable importance were discovered. The archaeological excavations made it possible to expose a set of ruins that take us back to a Medieval Lisbon , in continuous transformation from the 14th to the 21st century . Thus, it was possible to identify traces of a Lisbon lost in time, formerly the capital of a vast maritime empire, pioneer of globalization, which brought people and cultures together and made known, in Camões' immortal verses, “new worlds to the world”. ( The Lusiads, Canto II)

History is inside and really be part of it!

Man and Evolution

The Place Allied to natural causes such as the ruin caused by the 1755 earthquake and the subsequent reconstruction, they hid this piece of the city's history, which is now revealed and is once again visible.

The integration and musealization of this unique set undoubtedly contributes to the knowledge of Medieval and Modern Lisbon and its defensive structures, making Corpo Santo Hotel a magical place that leads us on a passionate journey in the memory of Lisbon and the World.

Today, rescued from its centuries-old silence, this is a space of many stories, which has seen people come and go from the four corners of the globe. Here we travel through time, history and the memories of those who lived here, built and loved this city.

Here, unique episodes in the history of Portugal took place, such as the conflicts of the Fernandina Wars, or the departure of the Naus that headed from here to new, then unknown, continents.

For all these reasons, this is a unique room, different from all the others you know, so close to you, right here, in your Hotel!
