Fantastic place to discover José Saramago's life, the stairs are very beautiful and there is a shop on one of the floors where you can find books. All the guides and leaflets are in Portuguese, English and Spanish, the lady and the gentleman at the entrance are very kind. The building has got some ancient roman walls. Definitely worth a visit

Alfama, the old part of the city, you can feel the history at every step. A beautiful part of the city, a lot of wonderful houses like "Saramago" and a lot of small restaurants where you can listen to beautiful fado live. Guest musicians play or waiters, chefs... amazing feeling.

I'm giving this one more star than I want to in recognition of my ignorance of Jose Saramogo and his lifes work. That said. The facade of the building is different and interesting and is worth walking by if you are in the neighborhood. Also if you enjoy Roman ruins and the history of making fish mash, head on in and walk through the first floor of the building. It's free and very well done with the glass floor, informational displays and a few nicely displayed pottery shards. However it is extremely limited to essentially two Roman stone tanks where fish remains where put into, left to ferment and then made into a sauce that was then marketed around Europe. Very nice, very limited. All good so far. But then you are invited to pay 3 euros to "experience" the upper floors. Why not? Up the stairs you go, but the first thing that hit me was that I was no longer in the same building that I saw from the outside. Instead I was in a modern and architecturally awkward building. Like walking upstairs at a boutique hotel. Once at the public floor space I thought I walked into a gift shop. Nicely displayed were hundreds of Jose Saramago books. My wife has read his books, but was no more interested than I in looking at more of them. We quickly perused the floor and found nothing else of interest. Back to the hotel stairs up another floor to find essentially the same again. This floor though had a small space with chairs set up which I assume are used for book lectures. Again we walked the floor for any sort of interesting or useful information. Found none. We left feeling like we had both paid 3 euros for the opportunity to enter a book store selling one authors works. Okay I get it. Someone somewhere is studying Jose Saramago at a university level. If that is you then your 3 euros may or may not be well spent. If it isn't I would strongly recommend taking a picture outside and calling it a day.

The Casa dos Bicos is a former renaissance palace built by the son of the second viceroy of India, Brás de Albuquerque. The building is constructed over a stretch of a former city wall (cerca moura/cerca velha), and further down, a roman city wall and fish preserve facilities were found. All these archeological findings are exhibited in the ground floor, under management of the Museu da Cidade and free to visit. The upper floors house the Saramago Foundation, which promote Saramago's work (Nobel Prize of Literature), literature and human rights. Besides office space, an exhibition on the author's life is available for 3€. Alternatively, one can visit the bookstore on the 3rd floor for free. The renaissance building features an unusual diamond point covered façade, probably of italian influence. At this time this was the most visible, river facing façade, but not the main entrance to the building, which was done through a courtyard from the northern side. The building was highly damaged during Lisbon's earthquake of 1775, on which the top 2 floors were lost. In the 90s, the building was renewed in a post-modern fashion. The archeological and historic memory found on the site was made apparent and juxtaposed to a new, contemporary layer of a complex spatial structure that turns and unfolds around these findings, celebrating depth, complexity, and juxtaposition. The upper two floors were rebuilt, reinterpreted from paintings and drawings from before the earthquake. Here and there the archeological remnants from previous eras may be found hidden in the foldings of time and of the building. The daring and unconventional refurbishment raised much controversy at the time, but Lisboners have made peace with it since. There is a threefold reason to visit this building: it tells of the urban history of the city, it showcases Saramago's work and life (besides other activities by the foundation) and it is a unique Lisbon post-modern space. Regular guided visits are organized by the Museu da Cidade to the ground floor.
