It’s with the sound of traditional Portuguese mosaic paving underfoot that we arrive at this “meeting-point for different realities”. We are presented with a perfect symbiosis between classic and contemporary, and then overwhelmed by a feeling of absolute tranquillity inside this mansion, the former home of the Counts of Tomar. Located at the heart of the Bairro Alto, in Lisbon, the building, which has since been transformed into a cultural centre, hosts the community of Portuguese Jesuits, who are determined to “cross the Christian faith with urban cultures”, through a “dialogue that is open to the public” and by publishing Brotéria magazine.
