Shops, markets, and merchants: tales of commerce in the city
Conferences
We have invited four speakers to address the subject of trade in the city, to evoke the streets and the professions of Baixa, and to link the layout of medieval and Pombaline Lisbon with the city of today.
Among the factors that set Lisbon apart as an international trade platform between the 15th and the 17th centuries are the worldview and the new insights that merchants brought to Lisbon, as well as the impact that the trade of exotic products and the exchange of knowledge had on urban development, economics, science, and literature.

This meeting also aims to stimulate discussion regarding the impact of trading routes on European science, and the consequences of new ways of thinking and doing for the "construction" of modern thought, while also reflecting on the role of traditional commerce in preserving the living memory of spaces and communities.
Professor José Sarmento Matos, Professor Henrique Leitão, Professor Maria Calado (moderator)
