Lisboa 2

When I was flying into Lisbon I saw this round building which was really prominent on the skyline - so I figured it must be the town hall or something similar. It was actually something way more important - the old bullring. No more bullfights there now - not sure what its being turned into (a museum or a tourist attraction i think) but theres going to be a shopping mall, carpark and subway station underneath.

Padrao dos Descrobimentos - a memorial to the explorers/sailors of the past (built in the 60s hence it looks like pop art or a Soviet memorial!!!)

Mosteiro Dos Jeronimos in Belem

Ponte 25 Abril (not commerating Anzac Day!), Christore (sp?) statue in the background
