Rua da Restauração
Rua da Restauração is located in the middle of the Parish of Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Running from the northeast to the southwest, the road is about 230 metres long and approximately 3 metres wide. It is paved with gravel. It starts in Largo do Carmo and ends in Estrada Governador Nobre de Carvalho. “Restauração” in Portuguese means “restoration”, which is in commemoration of Portugal’s resumption of its independent status in 1640. Exactly when the road was named is yet to be researched.
In 1580, Portugal was annexed by Spain. On 1 December 1640, Dinastia de Bragança of Portugal started a coup in the court, resulting in a 28-year-long war of independence between the two nations. Finally, both parties signed the Treaty of Lisbon in 1668, marking Portugal’s independence. To commemorate this event, 1 December became the Portugal Restoration of Independence Day.
In the old days, this area of the street was called “Back Bay”, where there used to be a charming beach. After the 1960s, because of land reclamation, the beach was gradually turned into land. The street, which is close to tourist attractions such as Our Lady of Carmel Church, Taipa Municipal Garden, Cross Garden and the Taipa Houses-Museum, is a good place for tourism and recreation.
