From pre-pombaline buildings to the ultra-modern architecture of the companies that moved into this zone in recent years, many and diverse are the values of the built patrimony of the S. Mamede county.
Integrating the romantic journey of the city - the 'Seventh Hill' which Lisbon 94 invented, preserving the unique set of manufacturing and housing Amoreiras, the S. Mamede county has yet to show the amazing Salitre street, the environment of the early century neighbourhood Barata Salgueiro or the examples of Art Deco and Modernism in the Streets Rodrigo da Fonseca, and Nova S. Mamede, among other things equally significant..
SEVENTH HILL
Subject to special urban intervention by the Lisbon 94, the 'Seventh Hill' has been rediscovered by the people of Lisbon in general and, perhaps, by the residents of the S. Mamede county. From the Rato square to the Principe Real, it now becomes more evident the urban and architectural richness of this romantic track, from which we will describe the main buildings, in chronological order.
CASTILHO PALACE – Beginning of the eighteenth century / Changes in the nineteenth century
Street Escola Politécnica, 38 - 46
The noble house is one of the oldest buildings in this area. Of the four floors that presents only the first two are from the beginning of the eighteenth century, since the other two should have been added by the initiative of the Castilho family, who resided there until the mid-nineteenth century.

Street Escola Politecnica 219-289.
The building of the Royal Silk factory, whit a façade that stretches along the street for about 110 m, is one of the most representative examples of industrial Portuguese Archaeology. His current façade, with a prominent central body, is the result of the widening works of the original plant, ordered by the Marquês do Pombal. With the decline of the factory, from 1835, its facilities had many uses, stands out a stained glass studio of Ricardo Leone and in the corner to the Rato, an old tavern, now pastry that held the array of decorative tiles.
RATO WATER FOUNTAIN -1752-1754

Street Escola Politécnica, 161-195.
Extensive building with a chapel on top, the Palace Alagoas was built by one businessman, named Jose Francisco da Cruz, ennobled with the surname and arms of Alagoa, in the early Pombaline days. As demonstrated by Jose Sarmento de Matos (The Seventh Hill, pp. 124-126), it is not exactly a palace, it’s a housing and shopping complex, whose decorative uniformity give an idea of unity, that don’t actually exist. In paragraph.183, an arch gives access to enclosed gardens and farm, where existed until about 1850, the famous "Forest Egyptian».
REBELO DE ANDRADE-SEIA PALACE - c. 1760
Escola Politécnica Street, 141-147.
Remarkable example of residential pombaline architecture, the palace that the bourgeois Rebelo de Andrade built around 1760 and later belonged to the Count of Seia, serves today to host the Open University. Despite the many changes that suffered over the years, especially the addition of an upper floor, the Palace Rebelo de Andrade presents either in the facade or in it’s interiors, reasons enough to have justified its classification as a Public Interest building, in 1971 (Dec. No. 516 of 22-11-71).
MARQUESES DA PRAIA PALACE - 1784 Largo do Rato, 2.
Huge eighteenth century residence, with two main floors, simple façades with a predominance of a neoclassical geometry, broken only by the main entrance located under a large window with balcony. In the early nineteenth century, the palace was in possession of the Marquês de Viana, whose sumptuous feasts gave hail in Lisbon and eventually led him to the bankruptcy, and after 1876 the building belonged to the Marqueses da Praia, until 1974, when it was acquired by the Socialist Party. The palace was extended in 1839, at the expense of the nearby dishware factory, and then extinguished. The Marqueses de Viana had built at that time, a private chapel, the Chapel of Our Lady of Bonança, according to the project of the architect Manuel Joaquim de Sousa. This is the famous chapel of the Rato, which held protests against the colonial war in the years 60.

This in turn had succeeded, in that space, the Novitiate of the Society of Jesus (1619-1759).
Virtually nothing remains of these buildings, unless the use of some materials (masonry and tiles) and how the interior plan of the Polytechnic School was organized around the old cloister.

INSTITUTIONS
Crowning the hill that descends the slope of Salitre and Liberdade avenue a set of cultural institutions are divided between research and entertainment. Under the influence of the College of Nobles and the Polytechnic - Faculty of Sciences, in its multifaceted functions and equipment, follows the traditions of the old pedagogical schools. Of course, with current methods. Although the headquarters of the Faculty is located at Campo Grande some scientific museums and the Botanical Gardens stayed here. Alexandre Herculano once wrote, in Legends and Narratives: '... places of honest or instructive pleasure, as botanical gardens and museums. " Perfect synthesis between leisure and education. These gardens, even in a broad sense of national parks or forests, are based on the experimentation, i.e., the study of the species in artificial habitats, but with the apparent condition of the natives, together with attachments museums, laboratories and libraries support. This core is worth a long visit.
Down the street Alegria and the Salitre alley we are at the door of an area of outstanding tradition that deserves special attention - the Parque Mayer .
It is recalled that the Salitre had already in 1770, a theatre that was intended to the people and the petty bourgeoisie and, where it accounted for farces and comedies, among them those of the Jewish.
Later, it was inaugurated in 1790 by the King D. João and Pina Manique, a bull ring, the first for the public. The seats were distributed according to classes.
Next to the Parque Mayer is the popular theatre. Born before its construction (1851) at the Gym Theatre, then went to the park where there were no lack of entertainment, snacks and entertainment.
With the Society's Park Avenue opened Maria Victoria Theatre, where he lived magazine.
The author of the major architectural structures was Cristino da Silva and it is expected that the future venture to the redevelopment of the Parque Mayer, respects the park entrance, the façade of the Capitol and the Artists' Café. It supports the existence of cafes, restaurants, shops, housing, theatres, museums, libraries, auditoriums and all that is normal to want in these cases. We discuss the Parque Mayer. we discuss the Avenue. We discuss the City.

The National Press is in the direct line of the Royal Press, created by charter of King José I, on December 24, 1768. In 1820 it’s called the National Press and in 1823 becomes Royal Typographic Workshop, in 1833, definitely, National Press.
The National Press is born by the initiative of the Marquês of Pombal and belongs to the reformative agenda pursued by the Marquês under the influence of "Enlightenment" Europe. It was imperative to read and study books.
With the Republic another thorough renovation of the National Press took place, with Louis Derouet. And it is this reviewer supports the proposals for spelling reform of José Dias Coelho. In 1972 takes place the last major reform that continues today.
