This is a historic aqueduct in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering, including the largest stone arch in the world. The main course of the aqueduct covers 18 km, but the whole network of canals extends through nearly 58 km. The Mãe d'Água (Mother of the Water) reservoir of the Amoreiras, the largest of the water reservoirs, was finished in 1834. This reservoir, with a capacity of 5,500 m³ of water, was designed by Carlos Mardel. It is now deactivated and can be visited as part of the Museu da Água (Water Museum).
The Águas Livres Aqueduct is a historic aqueduct system in Lisbon, Portugal. It is considered one of the most remarkable examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering and one of Lisbon's best-known landmarks.

Multifunctional space dedicated to contemporary art, especially photography.
Jardim Botânico
A hidden gem. It was created several hundred years ago, by a King of Portugal at the time of the Discoveries. The story goes that this King wanted one of every type of plant in the world, and although that's unlikely, there is a huge collection dating back by three or four centuries which is worth checking out. And there's something quite eerie about seeing plants or huge trees from completely different climates growing next to each other in apparent harmony. A great place to take a picnic: this green oasis is completely surrounded by city but even the city sounds filter out.
This large cemetery is packed with majestic gravestones and mausoleums, separated by wide, pedestrian, tree-lined "streets". Many graves are marked with icons telling something about the person's role in historical Lisbon. A beautiful respite from the busy city.
Mirador
Excellent panorama from the lovely terrace/garden on top of Elevador da Glória and northern corner of Bairro Alto.
Puppetry Museum
The museum covers the history of puppetry around the world, with an emphasis on Portugal. Various types of puppets are on display.
