“Benfica is from Benfica, and it has to go back there”. These were the words of Minister Cancela de Abreu at the meeting that marked the first step towards building the Estádio da Luz. This defined the return to this part of Lisbon, strongly marked by a rural landscape, which favoured urban growth. On a panoramic guided tour of level 3 of the stadium, we contemplate this landscape and reflect on how it has changed.
