Lisbon from the river ... - a photo on Flickriver

View On Black

A view of the beautiful city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, from the River Tejo - It is the westernmost largest city located in Europe, as well as its westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. It lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus River and it also happens to be one of the oldest cities in the world; like Rome it's a city on seven hills with a most pleasant climate. In this image in the foreground you see the continuation of the "zona ribeirinha" (an "green" area along the riverside with parks, restaurants, etc), the buildings on the hill are of the Alfama district ( the oldest and also famous for the Fado) - you can see on the right the cupola of the Pantheon (17th century) and on the left side the Chuch of São Vicente de Fora (16th century) .
As I said due to its climate and particular light near the sea and the hills it's very pleasant to live in and it has become a definite "fave" for holidays destination, so much so that it has been awarded "European City of the Year 2012, as well as 4th most beautiful city in the world. Do look at the links bellow for more info and I will try and bring to you more images of the city I now live in. Do enjoy!
