Gare do Oriente, Lisbon
"Estação Oriente is one of the most notable symbols of Parque das Nações. Even if you don’t arrive by train, this work of architecture is a must-see while in Lisbon. Created by the architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava, the elevated station has an impressive glass roof and an access tunnel that allows you to take unique photographs. It is one of Lisbon’s main links to the rest of the country, as well as the city within a city that was erected after the World Oceans Expo and gave the Tagus a new lease of life." www.visitlisboa.com/see-do/heritage-culture/only-lisbon/o...

Una delle caratteristiche della città sono sicuramente i suoi tram, da quelli originali e classici a quelli più moderni, consentono di spostarsi praticamente lungo tutta la città, e coprono anche tratti con delle forti pendenze come in questa foto, anche se noi preferiamo comunque spostarci a piedi. Questo tram è praticamente una funicolare, e permette di coprire un buon dislivello senza dover affrontare questa pendenza impegnativa.
Lungo la strada oltre ai numerosi graffiti che si vedono sui muri, ci sono anche delle vere e proprie opere d'arte, dei murales che coprono intere pareti e colorano la città.

July 10, 2023 - Torre de Belém (Belém Tower) "The Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Lisbon’s most striking monuments and the icon of a country historically moulded by its proximity to the ocean and its maritime discoveries of new worlds.
Discoveries by Portuguese navigators transformed Lisbon into the world’s main trade hub in the 15th and 16th centuries.
To protect the city, King João II conceived a pioneer project to defend Lisbon from enemy ships, a work completed in 1514 and which included the building of the Belém Tower, designed by architect Francisco de Arruda.
The tower’s unique design includes a modern and heavily armed bastion, protruding over the river.
King Manuel I clearly wished the Belém Tower to stand as a lasting symbol of his powerful reign by depicting the royal coat of arms, the armillary sphere and the cross of the Order of Christ." Previous description: www.visitlisboa.com/en/places/torre-de-belem
"... na parte superior do Arco é possível observar as esculturas de Célestin Anatole Calmels representando a Glória, coroando o Génio e o Valor. Já no plano inferior, encontram-se esculturas de Vítor Bastos, que representam as personalidades históricas de Nuno Álvares Pereira, Viriato, Vasco da Gama e Marquês de Pombal.
(...)
Mas a maior lição histórica que este arco triunfal nos quer contar está bem visível na inscrição, em latim, no seu frontão: Às Virtudes dos Maiores, para que sirva a todos de ensinamento., assinalando para a eternidade dos tempos a grandiosidade da alma portuguesa e das suas conquistas ao longos séculos." - from VisitLisboa.com, "Arco da Rua Augusta, o triunfo de Lisboa"

"In the lower level, there are sculptures by Vítor Bastos, representing the historic personalities of Nuno Alvares Pereira, Viriato, Vasco da Gama and the Marquis of Pombal.
(...)
But the biggest history lesson we can learn from this triumphal Arch is clearly visible in the inscription, in Latin, on its pediment: 'The Virtues of the Greatest, that they may be a lesson to all, mark for eternity the grandeur of the Portuguese soul and its achievements throughout the ages'." - from VisitLisboa.com, "Rua August Arch, Lisboa's triumph" (select language at the top of the page)
