On the third Sunday of each month at 11h00, tourists congregate
to watch the ceremonial Changing of the Republican Guard in front of
the Presidential Palace in Belem just outside Lisbon city centre.
With cameras at the ready, tourists can also gather to watch the Charanga: 28 horsemen from the Cavalry Regiment riding pure-bred Lusitano horses as they perform ceremonial military marches. The ritual dates back to 1910 and the end of the Portuguese monarchy.
The event begins at 11h00. Free.
