EDITORS COMMENTS
_Title:_ Lisbon: Viewed from the Hill of Sao Jorge (1907) _Description:_ This image, captured in 1907, presents a breathtaking panorama of Lisbon, Portugal's enchanting capital city, as seen from the vantage point of the historic Sao Jorge Castle. The hilltop fortress, a symbol of Lisbon's rich history and cultural heritage, has been a strategic stronghold since the Moorish invasion in the 8th century. The photograph reveals the city's diverse architectural landscape, with its labyrinthine network of narrow, winding streets, colorful tiled rooftops, and iconic landmarks such as the Tagus River, the Belém Tower, and the Jerónimos Monastery. The image also showcases the vibrant greenery of the city, with the lush gardens of the castle and the verdant slopes of the Alfama district, which cling to the hillsides and offer a stark contrast to the bustling urban landscape below. The photograph, taken in 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the city as it was over a century ago. The black-and-white image, with its high contrast and sharp detail, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and charm of Lisbon. The Hill of Sao Jorge, with its commanding view of the city, has long been a popular destination for travelers and locals alike. The castle, which sits atop the hill, has played a pivotal role in Lisbon's history, serving as a fortress, a royal palace, and a symbol of the city's resilience and strength. Today, it stands as a testament to Portugal's rich history and cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to explore the wonders of this enchanting city._
