- 13. 2005

- 15. •Identify the ancient streets that served as limits between parishes •Select the corresponding streets in the actual digital road map –Comparison between old and actual cartography Sources and Methodology • Methodology:
- 16. –Extensions •XTools and Geoprocessing Wizard –Drawing the polygons •Selected streets •Lines representing other limits not identify with actual streets Sources and Methodology • Methodology:
- 17. • Source: –Carta Topográfica da Cidade de Lisboa, e Bairro de Belém..., c.1820 –Military Archive • Parishes’ limits valid between 1780 and 1852 Lisbon in the first half of the XIXth century
