Avenida da Liberdade

Avenida de la Liberdade (hopefully spellt OK), is a boulevard leading

in Lisbon from the place Marques de Pombal (an important stateman, who

rebuilt Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake) to the historic centre in

Baixa (the rebuilt quartier, that is). It is imposant, straight, going

up (or down, depending on the direction), with numerous rows of trees.

This highlight of an intersection with the statue catched my attention

actually because of the lower building in the background, the former

Hotel Victoria of the architect Cassiano Branco, since I am doing

research regarding works of the first half of the XXth century, to

which it belongs ...

I hope you enjoy the photo, thanks for looking and in advance for any

comments!
