Call it a mini-mall. Call it a fashion bazaar. Call it a super concept shop. Or call it Lisbon’s cool, shopping collective for fashions, jewelry, lifestyle products and art. It’s Embaixada, a new collection of shops in the grand Ribeiro da Cunha Palace in Praça do Príncipe Real.
This stately Moorish-design building was built in 1857 by Ribeiro da Cunha, a wealthy businessman who made his fortune in Brazil. The building has two entrances, an Arabic-inspired interior courtyard, a “noble” staircase, stained glass windows, frescoes and art nouveau fireplaces.
Shops in Embaixada are spread over two floors. The space also include Atalho Real restaurant and Gin Lovers lounge in the center atrium, as well as areas dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Shops at Embaixada include:
Embaixada is part of an urban revitalization project by property development company, Eastbanc. It is the first of many changes planned for the Príncipe Real neighborhood.
