Alfama Rooftops and Tagus River View, Lisbon

Looking out over the Alfama district in Lisbon, the view reveals a cascade of terracotta rooftops leading down to the shimmering Tagus River. On the left, the dome of the National Pantheon rises above the neighborhood, while the white façade and bell tower of the Church of Santo Estêvão anchor the foreground. This historic quarter is the city’s oldest, a maze of narrow lanes, fado houses, and centuries-old dwellings that survived the 1755 earthquake. From this vantage, Lisbon’s timeless charm shines through—where pastel walls meet the deep blues of the river and sky, capturing the essence of Portugal’s capital.
