About the project

Lisbon (Portuguese "Lisboa") is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, as well as the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. Lisbon is also one of the oldest cities in the world, and the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris and Rome by centuries.

This project is all about trying to show different views and aspects of the city through photographs.
