Lisbon is a city bathed by a clear, magical light. Everyone knows this side of the city but few are aware of the mysterious shadows cast by that same light.
The stories within these pages lift the veil over episodes sometimes unimaginable, others brutally realistic, others yet of comical irony, whilst others may cause goosebumps.
Mummies kept in crypts, buried cities, nuns who lived like princesses, museums forgotten by time, statues that refuse to stand still, an enigmatic castle, serpents that protect the future king: these are just some of the episodes among the many mysterious tales one might recount about Lisbon.
An unique and unknown Lisbon to be discovered in the pages of this book.
