Description
Restauradores Square, Lisbon, Portugal. This popular public square commemorates the restoration of Portuguese Independence from Spainish rule in 1640 and the main attraction of the square, a 30m high obelisk erected in 1886, depicts various scenes of battle fought throughout the Portugese Restoration War. The delightful square is surrounded by beautiful old buildings including a fabulous example of Art Deco, the former Eden Theater, and is the starting point of Lisbon's main boulevard, the tree lined Avenida de Libertade. Seen here is one colorful corner of Praca dos Restauradores, balconies of surrounding facades overlook the busy square, and pastel coloured architecture of the hillside buildings tower upward to the horizon beyond. I hand blended textures with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this classic Lisboa city scene.
