'Cidade das sete colinas' is a Portuguese equivalent of 'City of seven hills'. The phrase is used to describe the Portuguese capital city at Lisbon [Lisboa]. According to legend, Lisbon was built on seven hills. The seven hills are Chagas, Sant'Ana, Santa Catarina, Santo André, São Jorge, São Roque, and São Vicente.

One of the most famous of Lisbon's hills is São Jorge with its sprawling medieval fortress, Castelo de São Jorge [Castle of St. George]. Colina de São Jorge is the highest hill in Lisbon's historic center.
