Location

The Nossa Senhora dos Anjos Rehabilitation Centre is located in the eastern zone of Lisbon, in the Santa Engrácia area. It is situated on Travessa do Recolhimento Lázaro Leitão, in a remarkable pink mansion, whose soft and time-faded hue reflects its long history and presence in the urban landscape. This place, though discreet, is an integral part of the social and architectural fabric of an area with its own character in the capital.

Legacy and Mission

With over six decades of history, the Nossa Senhora dos Anjos Rehabilitation Centre is a reference institution, integrated into the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa. Founded in 1962, its primary purpose has been to promote the rehabilitation of individuals with acquired blindness or low vision. This social commitment, which dates back to its beginnings with specialized international support, aims at restoring autonomy and the full inclusion of these individuals into society.

A Symbol of Autonomy

Behind the facade of its historic building, the Nossa Senhora dos Anjos Rehabilitation Centre is a place of remarkable transformation. It symbolizes human resilience and the power of rehabilitation, where journeys of overcoming challenges and the rediscovery of autonomy are witnessed daily. It is a space dedicated to empowering people, offering them the necessary tools to regain confidence and their active role in the community, thereby contributing to a more welcoming and inclusive society.
