The rhinoceros never arrived alive in Italy. There was a shipwreck and she died chained to the boat. Her body was recovered, returned to Lisbon, was stuffed and sent again to the Pope. When in Lisbon, alive, she was a model for several artists. In the end some of these drawings and prints inspired the famous Dürer's Rhinoceros. Her nickname was "Abada" feminine for Abade (Abbot) because of her skin plaques that looked like a clergyman cloak. It gave origin to the Portuguese saying "Levar uma Abada" which means loosing a game by lots of points. It started when a fight between an elephant and Abada was staged in Terreiro do Paço. The elephant was so terrified that run all the way to Belém.

I have wanted to go to Lisbon for my next European adventure, but now I am even more anxious to get there and Porto and the rest of Portugal. Feeling very inspired for 2025! Ollie, you showed remarkable restraint with the custard tarts. If I had been carrying them a lot more would have disappeared! Thank you for the video! Have a lovely week!

"The Pope's Rhinoceros" by Lawrence Norfolk is a work of historical fiction about a Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of Italy in 1516. A rhinoceros that was to be delivered to the Pope was onboard. The author delves into the stories that led to this event.

What a magnificent riding arena! I'd have loved to ride in there, that's for sure. I tried the custard tarts in 2016 when I briefly visited Porto. They are every bit as scrumptious as Ollie claims. Oooh, that food market looks excellent if I do say so myself

Two years ago I left Edinburgh with 10° c and arrived in Lisbonne with 30°c ! Same day, amazing. I spent a lovely day and deliscious lunch in the flea market and bought some old tiles. Sadly so much of Lisbonne is derelect and the buildings even in the center are in terrible condition if you look up as you walk around the city. There is also a lovely little botanical park.

I used to live near the marina where you stayed in the houseboat. Great location, and a lot of fun things to do there, too. Pastéis de Belém tip: the biggest line is always for the take-away or ordering at the counter. Getting a table is actually pretty quick, even during peak season. And not only will you get a nice place to sit, your Pastéis de Belém will still be slightly warm, with easy access to powdered sugar and cinnamon.

I'm late to the journey but thank goodness there isn't a time limit on following this channel. This was really great. I like the way you choose the sites-- you never try to "cover" the whole place but we get to spend time in real places that express the city -- porcelain and custard can be as expressive as a historic monument; more expressive.

I’ll never get the chance to visit all these beautiful places in life so I thank you for sharing your journey. What a beautiful place Lisbon is and for the history behind the country. The food looked so good. I love a good time of sardines but. O one in my immediate family does. Will look forward to your next destination. ❤❤❤

If you want to know more about Garum, you should check out "Tasting History with Max Miller". It's been a bit of a mission for him to learn about Garum and he even made his own batch (takes months of fermenting!). His channel is a fantastic history resource in general!
