About This Book
O autor empreende passeios pelas imediações de Lisboa, oferecendo descrições topográficas e arqueológicas de igrejas, mosteiros, sepulturas e fontes, identificando estatuária, inscrições e azulejaria, e anotando transformações arquitectónicas e achados antigos. O texto combina observações de paisagem e clima com pequenas histórias locais, reconstruções de memoriais e comentários sobre restauros e deslocações de monumentos, além de recordações pessoais de companheiros de estudo e reflexões sobre erudição regional. A narrativa alterna descrições pitorescas com notas históricas e críticas, formando um guia de curiosidades e património suburbano.
