Porto Historic Center

Portugal, Porto, Ribeira (Historic center)

Beautiful warm sunset from Porto in Portugal overlooking the old town harbour with the view over the Douro river.

This tower is in fact the bell tower of the Clérigos Church and once was the highest building in Portugal. The panoramic view from upthere is the most complete from Porto and well worth the 230+ steps’ climb. Looking south you can see the Douro and the messy display of dark-orange rooftops on Miragaia and Massarelos rooftops.

'River: Duoro
Completed: 1886
Trivia: The bridge is often confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge. The latter has only one deck.'
