13.9.11

A genuinely charming city

destroyed by the 1755 earthquake
and rebuilt largely according to the plans of Marquess of Pombal
equally striking at dusk...
...and in day light
located where the Tagus River joins the Atlantic Ocean
sunny colourful and relaxed
with historic and quaint neighbourhoods like Alfama, Bairro Alto and Chiado
churches and houses of different architectural styles
Santa Justa Elevator built by an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel to connect Baixa (downtown) to Bairro Alto
you can either love it or adore it at first sight
hoping that one day you'll be back to get to know it better
