The Public Security Police (PSP) implemented crowd control measures for an hour in the city centre in response to the huge number of tourists yesterday afternoon.
The crowd control measures started at 5:10 p.m. and ended at 6:10 p.m. The measures were implemented in Rua de S. Paulo, where pedestrians were only allowed to walk towards the Ruins of St Paul’s, but when leaving the landmark, they had to use other streets such as Calçada do Amparo, Rua de Nossa Senhora do Amparo and Rua de Dom Belchior Carneiro. Rua de Nossa Senhora do Amparo was temporarily closed to vehicular traffic during the one-hour period.
