Day 2…

Today we spent a lovely, warm day exploring Lisbon. We strolled through the winding medieval streets amazed at the beautiful architecture and tile work everywhere.

We visited the Santa Maria Major Cathedral and picked up our pilgrim passports there. A pilgrim passport is necessary to collect stamps from hostels, cafes, restaurants, etc…along the pilgrimage to prove that you walked all the way.

After looking through the Cathedral we went to the chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua. The chapel was built over the place where he was born. We said prayers and lingered at the shrine for a while before heading to the Tile Museum.

The tile museum was found in an old monastery. It was sad to see that the monastery was no longer in use but it created an amazing venue to display so many beautiful tiles and explain the history of tile making/art in Portugal.
