Images of Lisbon
Really, the title says it all - some random pictures of Lisbon - starting with the top one - the view (YES!) from my hotel room.
Did I say hotel room? I meant to say my "Suite of Rooms" - yes, in this final hotel I had three rooms - bedroom and sitting room, with a long balcony, little hallway and bathroom. Life is good.
There are also pictures of "Igreja de São Domingos" - a church in Lisbon that is classified as a National Monument.
The church was dedicated in 1241 and was, at one time, the largest church in Lisbon. Prior to the establishment of the modern Portuguese republic in 1910, the church typically hosted Portuguese royal weddings. Formerly the home of the Inquisition, Jesuit missionary Gabriel Malagrida was famously executed at the church in 1761 after being accused of treason.
The church was damaged by the 1531 Lisbon earthquake and almost completely destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. Rebuilding began quickly but wasn't completed until 1807. In 1959 the church was devastated once more when a fire broke out in the building.
Enjoy the slide show.
