Lovely Lisbon!🇵🇹
From the Mosteiros dos Jerónimos (Hieronymites Monastery) to a sunset cruise along the Rio Tejo (Tagus River), there was so much to take in!
⛪️ The Monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous in part for its stunning architecture, and its final resting place of notable figures, including Vasco de Gama
🌉The 25 de Abril Suspension Bridge is reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA
✝️ Cristo Rei is Portugals version of Rio’s infamous Christ the Redeemer statue, and is a symbol of the counties neutrality during WWII
⛵️ Monument of Discoveries on the banks of the Tagus River celebrates Portugal’s “Age of Discovery” during the 15th & 16th centuries, where ships departed to explore and trade with India and the Orient (East of Europe).
So much more to see and learn, so check back here regularly for updates! 😁
