| Lisbon is a fascinating city. It is also known as the "town of the seven hills" with a moderate climate and privileged natural conditions, on the nothern bank of Rio Tejo and close by the sea. | |
|
For the traveller who comes in from the sea, Lisbon,
even for afar, rises like a fair vision in a dream, clear-cut against a
bright blue sky which the suns gladdens with its gold. And the domes, the
monuments, the old castles jut up above the mass of houses, like far-off
heralds of this delightfull seat, of this blessed region."
Fernando Pessoa, 1925. |
