Penha de França tops one of the seven Lisbon hills, perched 110 meters above sea level. Some of the best views of the city are available from this vantage point as one looks out over the city to the Northeast. Conversely, the Penha de França church's domes appear on Lisbon's horizon. As a lesser-known area, Penha de França's excellent location, good social facilities and a good public transportation network support quiet yet active lives. Similar to other areas on the outer layers of Lisbon, this was once farmland and orchards, where many Lisboetas moved to be outside a congested city. Imposing, majestic manor homes were built for noble families and today this area maintains its stately aura, attracting middle and upper class families. Multiple generations of families live here, from young people to adults. Avenida General Roçadas is a grand avenue running through Penha de França to connect it with the São João and Graça neighborhoods. This area has evolved in a sustainable way, despite being off the radar for young weekenders, and is known as a safe and traditional area. Residents eagerly anticipate their annual, theme-based entry into the Santos Populares parade in Lisbon. Certainly, this area is a reliable choice for residents.
