Lisbon

About Lisbon

Lisbon is a city of light and longing, where pastel façades tumble down seven hills toward the Tagus River and every alley seems to carry a melody. Its seafaring spirit and gentle melancholy have long inspired storytellers to look both backward and forward at once. TOWA Cities Lisbon by Shigeru Ito captures the essence of Lisbon's timeless landmarks (Torre de Belém, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the Elevador de Santa Justa, the Elétrico de Lisboa), the character that lives in its every corner (Vasco da Gama, Amália Rodrigues), its warm traditions cherished by its people (fado music, hand-painted azulejo tiles), and the flavors that fill its tables (Sardinha em conserva, pastéis de nata). Let the artist's imaginative lens reveal a Lisbon you've never quite seen before, and add your own verse to its unending story. Enjoy!
