Não sei se canta
Não sei se reza
A sua voz com carinho
Canta baixinho
Sua tristeza
Aníbal Nazaré/ Carlos Rocha
Fado, pastel de Belém, codfish, the Tagus River, the Age of Discovery, the Portuguese language, Fernando Pessoa and Camões... Portugal has offered these many wonderful things to mankind! There's no better way to thank them than to visit their splendid country, beginning with the very beautiful capital city: Lisbon!
Torre de Belém, built in 1519. One of the most symbolic monuments of the Portuguese nation
Padrão dos Descobrimentos. Inaugurated in 1960, this monument celebrates the 500 years of the beginning of the Age of Discovery in Portugal. It points towards the Tagus River and ultimately the sea...
Praça do Império, with the Jerônimos Monastery on the background.
Restauradores Square, in central Lisbon.
Cais das Colunas... the Tagus River (Tejo)
Santa Justa Lift, also in central Lisbon, in the district of Baixa.
A wonderful view from the district of Alfama.
Lisbon seen from Saint George's Castle (Castelo de São Jorge)
Saudade... a beautiful and sad word you can only find in the Portuguese language... and that is Saudade Street... oh, how I miss those days back in Portugal!
Another iconical point of the city. The Cathedral of Lisbon. I was careful to take the picture at the very moment the "eléctrico" (the traditional tramways in Lisbon) was coming down.
Bem merecestes ter com amor,
Em vossos braços, o Salvador
The Church of Saint Anthony. It is said that he was born in this place. I was extremely happy to be able to visit it.
And this is only a bit of this incredibly beautiful city. Por certo, uma das capitais europeias mais giras.
Visit Lisbon! You shall not regret it!
