CACILHEIROS - INTRODUÇÃO

Os CACILHEIROS são personagens de uma Lisboa marítima de séculos, paisagem do rio e suas cidades, num quadro que a geografia e a história foram desenhando com o tempo.

Hoje são operados pela TRANSTEJO que com a sua associada SOFLUSA assegura a totalidade das ligações fluviais entre as duas margens do Tejo.

Este espaço é dedicado a essas criaturas simpáticas - os CACILHEIROS -, e trata da história e características dos diversos navios.
