LOURENCO, Tiago Borges. Matos Sequeira’s Lisboa Antiga (Old Lisbon): recreation of an old Lisbon neighbourhood at the 1935 Lisbon Festivities. Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2022, vol.ser2, n.18, e202209.  Epub Aug 12, 2022. ISSN 2183-3176.  https://doi.org/10.48751/cam-2022-1869.

Built on the terrain where once there was Francesinhas Convent, the Lisboa Antiga exhibition was planned by Gustavo de Matos Sequeira as a recreation of an early 18th century Lisbon neighbourhood for the 1935 Lisbon Festivities. With almost 200 000 visitors in just four months, it became one of the most memorable events of the genre in Portugal. The present article aims to outline its fundamentals, dissemination and public reception.

Keywords : Lisboa Antiga; Architectural reenactment; 1935 Lisbon Festivities; Matos Sequeira.
