The charm of Lisbon architecture

There are a lot of morning cafes in Lisbon, which is a huge plus for those tourists who are in a hurry to walk around the city in the morning.

The most prominent representative of the Portuguese Baroque is the majestic National Pantheon of Portugal, built of pink marble. Closed for visits on Mondays.

It is the Cathedral of the Lisbon Patriarchate. Unique blend of elements of several styles: baroque, rococo, gothic and neoclassicism.

The Church of St. Anthony, according to legend, is at the place of his birth. Lisbon's patron saint, the famous preacher, St. Anthony is one of the most revered Catholic saints. First, there was a chapel in the place of the house where he was born, then the church expanded and improved. Outside the church is made in baroque force, inside it is very airy, the sense of space is achieved through the light effects. Next to the church there is a monument and museum of St. Anthony. The entrance is free, open from 8-00 to 19-30.

We had lunch with great pleasure! They ordered seafood and a plate of cheese. We were very pleased! We recommend it to everyone.

In the afternoon we go to Piazza Figueira, the famous shopping area of the past. There is a monument to King Don Joao I. Around the square there are cafes and restaurants. There are fairs and an ice rink at Christmas.

Now let's go see a unique structure - a special elevator lift. That's how they decided to make life easier for the people of Lisbon in 1902. You can climb from Oru Street to Karma Square in seconds. The elevator was designed by Eifel's favorite engineering student. The upper elevator platform offers a wonderful view of the city.

At the end of the day, a stroll along the boulevard in the style of the Parisian boulevards. Picturesque and cozy place.

Let's go to dinner. Beautiful view, you can order seats outside. The menu was delightful. Dinner was a success.

Tomorrow we leave hospitable Lisbon. So many impressions! I don't even want to waste time sleeping.
