BEFORE THE CASTLE
Discover all the history and archaeology of the periods before the construction of the castle: the cultures that arrived in the city of Lisbon between the 8th and 3rd centuries B.C. and the impact that they had on trade, urbanism and the material culture of the period. Learn about the physical remains left by the arrival of the Roman Republican Army in the 2nd century B.C. and how their presence would later transform Lisbon into an imperial Roman city until the arrival of the Visigoths in the 5th century.

RELIGIOUS MILITARY ORDERS
Religious military orders are an integral part of both national history and the collective imagination of a large part of the public. This programme aims to promote a deeper knowledge of these orders, demystifying their history at the same time as accurately revealing the various types of “uniforms”, armour and forms of combat they used.
Therefore we’ve decided to divide this programme into four, following the birth, development and sometimes the extinction of some of the most important military religious orders in Portugal:
Order of the Hospital – 12th to 15th/16th centuries
Knights Templar – 12th to 14th centuries
Order of Aviz – 13th(?) to 16th centuries
Order of Christ – 14th to 16th centuries
The programmes will be divided chronologically from the 12th to the 16th centuries, covering the development of the order and their role in Portuguese nationality.

DANCES AND MUSIC IN THE PALACE – 15th CENTURY
15th CENTURY
16 JUN | 21 JUL | 18 AUG
The 15th century was a period of formation and consolidation of the Portuguese language, with Fernão Lopes and Sá de Miranda in the limelight and the troubadour tradition in the background. Slowly, the language frees itself from Latin; official documents cease to be produced in the language of Virgil and Ovid and instead are written and read aloud in the Portuguese from the days of the caravels.
Poetry, its most exquisite vehicle.
At the same time, dance increasingly asserts itself, arising from the eternal popular tradition and the flourishing culture of the court. The union of the two (voice and body) was inevitable.
Here, then, is the word and dance of the 15th century accompanied by instruments including the sackbut, the shawm/bagpipes and percussion.

POETRY AND DANCE – 15th to the 17th Centuries
Voice and body. Sound and movement.

DANCES WITH HISTORY ASSOCIATION & DOLCIMELLO
In the beginning was the word. Then came the body. And the gesture. And that’s how dancing was invented. That which nature has joined cannot be separated. The Dances with History Association and the Early Music group IL DOLCIMELO are bringing a set of historical dances to the Castelo de São Jorge based on the best of Portuguese literature from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries…
