History of Lisbon Mural (Mural História de Lisboa)

The History of Lisbon Mural, painted by illustrator Nuno Saraiva, captures the city’s rich past in a series of colorful, comic strip–style panels. Located in Lisbon, this public artwork spans from the Phoenicians and Romans through the medieval Age of Discoveries, the devastating 1755 earthquake, and the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Visitors can explore the mural’s vibrant depictions, which offer a unique and engaging way to learn about the key events that have shaped Lisbon. As one of the city’s most distinctive free attractions, the mural invites both locals and tourists to immerse themselves in the visual narrative of Lisbon’s history.
