    Helix Sleep sponsored a portion of this video. Visit helixsleep.com/properpeople for up to $200 off your Helix Sleep mattress plus two free pillows! With my Helix Sleep mattress I'm getting more comfortable and more restful nights of sleep! #helixsleep

      Ngl, but Helix is way too massively overpriced, a twin for the same quality of helix can go for 300-400ish dollars, no matteress should ever be 1500 dollars. That is massively overpriced, especially for a twin size mattress. Do not go with helix if you want actually sane and good pricing options for a mattress.

    My guess on the English sign is that there were archeologist students from some university, and although the instructors spoke English, it was not their first language, so their spelling was not really perfect. They had taken over the chapel and used it for their "workspace" probably because that was the only roof that didn't leak. So they reestablished the power supply and put heavy padlocks on the doors (or screwed the doors shut) to make sure their valuable research equipment didn't get stolen.

    I haven’t seen this channel in nearly 4 years. Only recently started randomly seeing instagram reels of abandoned places and reminded me of this channel again. Came back today and was pleasantly surprised that they haven’t changed much in that 4 years. Was also heartwarming to see that they kept their awesome intro song. ❤

    During the 17th and 18th centuries, stained glass windows were very common not only in churches.
    Where I live, there is a mansion, built in the early 19th century, with a huge stained glass window and chrome bathroom furniture, things that at the time, only very high class families could have.
    It is a shame, after the owners passed away, the heirs left it abandoned for many decades.

    At the 15:15 mark you hear "The floors up here don't feel the sturdiest." on that 2nd tier of the cathedral cell block. Meanwhile, at the 13:33 mark one says "I'm gonna head upstairs" and as he does, there is a black triangle with an exclamation mark in the center of it with the word "Perigo" sprayed underneath. Perigo is 'Danger' in Portuguese and that is probably exactly why it was spray painted at the bottom of the stairs. Warning people that the 2nd tier catwalk is rotted and unstable. No mention of that sign in the video as they passed it. Might want to pay attention to those types of warnings in the future. Entertaining video as always guys! You two are awesome bringing us these videos. Love your content! Be safe!

      Yes its always a tough decision for us to decide whether to include it or not. I think it's an important part of the story of what we do but we also don't want to heavily publicize a playbook of how to get in, so that's why you won't see it in all our videos.

  • @kMitsukai
    @kMitsukai 16 днів тому

    For what I could read, they rehabilitated the old buildings for re-use in several services, startup companies, cultural or creative industries and local associations.
    The english sign with some understandable misspelling since "álcool" is the portuguese spelling of the word "alcohol" and "propper" is also very frequent mannerism (old habits) as in portuguese before the "new language deal" we used to emphasize some words with muted letters in the middle of the words. The sign (probably to warn eventual foreign students, teachers and/or researchers from the human and social sciences faculty of the University), along with the samples, are from archeological studies to learn the patrimonial impact of the rehabilitation process. That is also to house the future Arts and Technology Institute of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
    As you well said at the end, it was announced a plan to rehabilitate those cell spaces you've walked on to use them as college student dormitories for said university (in a country where finding a ROOM - not an apartment - to rent in Lisbon has an asking price of probaby a minimum wage or higher - speculation, airbnb, illegal rentings with no regulation or accountability, really became a huge housing problem for the average person trying to make a living or even study in our country! Many students find themselves not going to study at the college they've been accepted in solely because their parents can't afford a room's rent! This happens mainly in Lisbon, but it's spreading faster and faster to other cities.
    Entire families live in rented basements and car garages converted illegally to makeshift dormitories!
    Low wages, inflation and house prices are the biggest problems here.

    It's such a shame that someone with some forethought didn't turn these beautiful gems of history you explore into tourist destinations. Not a fan of "tourist attractions" but anything to preserve art, history and architecture.
    Good to hear that there may be a future for this place...other than prime waterfront condos.

    Hi Bryan & Michael, I wouldn't swap my Rem-Fit mattress for any other mattress but the Helix seems nice too. Such a beautiful set of buildings, the ceilings looked very ornate as did some of the stairwells. Although it was a prison at one point in time, it must have been nice falling asleep listening to the waves and seagulls. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💜

    At 21:23 those are known as boring samples. Probably commissioned by the university to see what type of rock is around the existing structures. Useful information to determine load capacities for future construction, as well as determining how much excavation needs to take place to get to suitable bearing soils.

    These buildings are beautiful. Traditional, pre-World War II architecture, building materials, and craftsmanship are my favorite.
    I would love for more buildings today to be built using traditional architecture, building materials, and craftsmanship instead of conforming to the often ugly architecture, lackluster building materials, and mediocre craftsmanship that are prevalent today.
    If you are in a position to design or build a building, consider using traditional architecture, building materials, and craftsmanship if at all possible as they are more beautiful, higher quality, and more durable than their modern counterparts.
