Avenidas Novas
-
The “New Avenues” – now a century old – are an uneven grid of streets immediately to the north of Pombal and Parque Eduardo VII. The area is a fairly typical example of late 19th- to early 20th-century planning: wide streets have tree-lined lanes down the middle, and grand residences line the main avenues. It became the heart of a newer, upper-middle-class Lisbon, away from the crowded conditions and perceived unsalubriousness of the old riverside districts. It has been much altered along its main axis, Avenida da República, and 21st-century shopping has come to Praça Duque de Saldanha, but this area of Lisbon is still a respectable residential one.
