The Miradouro de Santo Amaro offers a stunning panoramic view over the Alcântara valley and the Tagus river, particularly over the 25 de Abril bridge. Although there are a lot of striking geographical and architectural features of the cityscape that stretches out before you, this is a privileged spot to listen to one of the most incredible sounds that Lisbon has to offer: the cars and trains travelling up and down the suspended decks of the bridge. Next to the chapel, a parabolic panel of ceramic tiles acts as an acoustic mirror, determining a focal point on the belvedere from which visitors can listen carefully to the selected soundscape. The ceramic surface has been made out of fragments of hundreds of Portuguese industrial tiles, based on a spectrographic image of the bridge soundscape.
