Last century, sailors from all over the world disembarked at Cais do Sodré thirsty for fun. Here abounded bars with names of European capitals and harlots ready to love by the hour.
After a period of decay and abandonment, Cais do Sodré is reborn with the opening of Pensão Amor, in 2011.
It quickly became an icon of a modern Lisbon, opened to the world and proud of its identity.
After a deep renovation, completed in 2023, Pensão Amor rose even more and opens it’s doors to a journey back in time: Madam's Lodge. A unique experience that invites to inhabit the former harlots rooms and unveil the never revealed secrets of this old brothel.
In every corner, unusual personal objects, surprising documents of the day-to-day business, mysterious messages and many surprises reveal the way of life of this old brothel in the 60s, at a time when harlots, known as “the enrolled”, could legally practice the oldest profession in the world. However, on the horizon was already Salazar's threat to end prostitution in Portugal, which would happen in 1963. Thus, Madam's Lodge marks the 60th anniversary of the prohibition of prostitution in Portugal and pays tribute to the life stories of these women.
There are 22 life stories, distributed in five different types of rooms, filled with documents and objects.
For over 16 years old.
Capacity for 2 or 3 people (XL Bed for polyamorous)
