The 25 de Abril Bridge (25th of April Bridge) is a suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River and connecting the city of Lisbon to the municipality of Almada on the south bank of the river. It was inaugurated in August 1966. Up until 1974, the bridge was named The Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar) in honor of Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, who ordered its construction. After the Carnation Revolution which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's dictatorship, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. The bridge is sometimes referred to also as the Tagus River Bridge or the San Francisco Bridge.

This is an image of The Sanctuary of Christ the King (Santuário de Cristo Rei), a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon. It is located on top of an isolated hill in the Almada district about 135 m above the sea and overlooking the Tagus River left bank. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The project was inaugurated in May 1959. The giant cement statue was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the effects of World War II. It is the highest point in Almada on a plateau dominated by the 25 de Abril Bridge (images coming soon). All images are taken with a Canon 5D III (full frame) and a Canon 7D II...

This view was taken during a ferry ride on the Tagus River (Rio Tejo), looking towards the south/southwest of Lisbon. This is the Almada District, which is famous for its very long walkway along the river. The walkway is known for its mostly abandoned commercial district that is adorned with creative graffiti works almost on every building, wall, door, window, etc. The walkway also leads towards the Sanctuary of Christ The King almost at the end of the path. All images are taken with a Canon 5D III (full frame) and a Canon 7D II (crop frame) using a variety of Canon L-Series lenses, and Tamron and Sigma pro-line lenses; processed in RAW with ACR, PSC, Photomatix, and a variety of other imaging software.
