Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: 25 de Abril Bridge, Praca 25 de Abril Almada, Lisbon 1950-358 Portugal
The 25 de Abril bridge began to be built in 1962 and was inaugurated in 1966. It is 70 meters high from the water and its highest point is 190 meters! Its length is about 2.2 km.
Initially, the bridge was named Ponte Salazar, in honor of António de Oliveira Salazar. Later, in the Revolution of April 25, 1974, the bridge was renamed with the name we know today.
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (USA) is considered the twin sister of our bridge. In common they have their appearance: they are the two suspension bridges and they have a very beautiful red color.
Pass By: Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei, Praceta do Cristo Rei 27A Não é localizado em Lisboa e sim em Almada, Almada 2800-058 Portugal
The idea of building the National Sanctuary of Cristo Rei emerged in 1934 during a visit to Brazil by Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon. After having visited the imposing Christ the Redeemer of Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, I wanted to build a similar figure to admire the capital.
The outbreak of World War II ended up driving the desire to finally build the Cristo Rei.
If Portugal were spared the war, a Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus would be erected over Lisbon.
The construction of the monument took 10 years, from 1949 to 1959.
The Cristo Rei rises 215 meters above sea level and has a total height of 110 meters.
