"After Rua Augusta, this is Lisbon’s most popular pedestrian street. While the first one is for shopping and quick meals, this one is for alfresco dining. It may be touristy, but there are plenty of reasons to pass by. In the 1400s, it was one of the gateways ("portas") to the city. It’s now known for its outdoor restaurants, many of them with waiters trying to lure passing tourists. It’s also a street of theaters (the Teatro Politeama and Coliseu dos Recreios) and with a few curiosities in between. One of them is an entrance to a former prison (at Pátio do Tronco), where poet Luís de Camões was imprisoned for several months, after his involvement in an altercation nearby. It all happened before his long voyage to India, which resulted in the great epic "The Lusiads." A tile panel from 1992, by the artist Leonel Moura, remembers the days the poet spent at the site."
