Crossing the Tejo

Crossing the Rio Tejo (Tagus River) via a bus over the Ponte 25 de Abril, I visited O Santuário Nacional de Cristo Rei (National Sanctuary of Christ the King), which was inspired by the more famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it sits on a hillside along the Rio Tejo and overlooks the river, Lisbon (on the opposite side of the river) and the Ponte 25 de Abril, a famous bridge that is reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge due to its color, but was actually built by the company who constructed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, not the Golden Gate Bridge
