Viseu Best known for its velvety red wines and luscious gastronomic delights, Viseu will entice you with its vibrant folklore festivals, pastoral scenery and plentiful collection of cultural gems. Roughly half way between Porto and Coimbra, the rural district of Viseu nestles in the heart of the winemaking Dão-Lafões sub-region, a landscape formed by lush pine forests, crystalline rivers and some of the most reputable vineyards in the country. Across the western border of the district lays the Serra do Caramulo, a 1,075 metre-high (3,500 feet) range known for its fresh mountain water, sleepy schist villages and golden-coloured honey. On clear, sunny days one may climb Caramulinho, the highest peak on the range, to enjoy dramatic views of the distant Serra da Estrela (Mountains of the stars). You will find the district’s prime attractions in its capital – the city of Viseu. Head to the historical Adro da Sé square and enter the richly embellished cathedral that stands in its centre.

Avenida Liberdade, Lisbon - Portugal Avenida da Liberdade Shops, hotels, some of the best coffee shops, esplanades, theatres, universities... You will find everything here and more! This is the Avenue of Liberty, synonimous with elegance, fashion and motion ... like a living vein that makes the connection between Pombal Marquis Square and downtown Lisbon. This is one of the most (if not the most) important avenues in Lisbon and is also the central point for offices, centenary trees, international fashion shops and thousands of "passing-through" workers. Being a good place for a walk, make sure you take a look at the ancient tailor shops, followed by internationally-known brands like Calvin Klein, Timberland, Massimo Dutti, Armani, Burberrys and Adolfo Dominguez. Walking the Liberty Avenue was once a social custom synonimous of elegance and today still is! If you feel tired, just sit at one of the local esplanades with the traditional white wrought iron chairs and have a drink...

The Rossio is the popular name of the Pedro IV Square ( Portuguese : Praça de D. Pedro IV ) in the city of Lisbon , in Portugal . It is located in the Pombaline Downtown of Lisbon and has been one of its main squares since the Middle Ages. It has been the setting of popular revolts and celebrations, bullfights and executions, and is now a preferred meeting place of Lisbon natives and tourists alike. The current name of the Rossio pays hommage to Pedro IV , King of Portugal as well as first Emperor of Brasil (as Pedro I). His bronze statue is seen on top of a column in the middle of the square. In mid-nineteenth century the square was paved in black and white , with wavy patterns . It was one of the first drawings of this sort to decorate the floors of the city . On the north side of the square is the Teatro Nacional D. Mary II, which is named after the daughter of D. Peter D. Maria II . http://en.wikipedia.org Photos: Celso Gonçalves Roc2c

The Convento do Carmo and its church Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo do Rio de Janeiro were founded in 1389 as a convent for the Carmelite Order by Portuguese knight Nuno Álvares Pereira. The convent was first inhabited in 1392 by Carmelite nuns from Moura (southeast Portugal). Unfortunately the 1755 earthquake, followed by fire, destroyed most of the convent, its church and library containing 5000 books. Although the convent was rebuilt (in contrast to the church, the ruins of which still stand as a reminder of the earthquake) in the early 20th century in the Neo-Gothic style, it is now used as military police quarters for the Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR). The remains of the church are visible from Praça do Rossio and has distinctive rose window and five flying buttresses. A small museum within the old church is worth a visit, housing prehistoric artefacts as well as the ornate tomb of King Ferdinand I and even a mummified Peruvian Indian. www.strawberry-world.com Photo...

History The original building of the Monument of the Discoveries, as outlined Cottinelli Telmo and Leitão de Barros and Leopoldo de Almeida formed plastic and mental, was erected in 1940 for the Portuguese World Exhibition. Originally it was composed, in its part of architecture, a lightweight structure of iron and cement, and gypsum in the sculptural composition consisting of 33 figures. The monument has the shape of a caravel, inferiorly flanked by two ramps that meet at the bow and where he stands, with 9 feet tall, the figure of Prince Henry. Along the ramps are 16 figures on each side, carved with balance and precision, where the dynamism and movement of bodies are projected towards the river Tagus, which represent a synthesis of historical figures linked directly or indirectly to the Discoveries. The year 1960 represents a milestone in Henriquina Celebrations, which would have the main points of the places where once lived the Prince. In Bethlehem, rose back up the Monument of...
