Thank you @baraturizoli and @KamalHossenR for your comments and I'm really happy that you also liked this story about one aspect of this amazing city in Portugal. I am looking forward to writing a little more about this beautiful country.

I was based in Evora, @AdamGT, which is a 100 km from Lisbon and the city is smaller but extremely beautiful. Have you heard of it? I studied there as an Erasmus student and that's why I had the chance to stay that long. I took regular trips to Lisbon, where a colleague of mine stayed and i just fell in love with the city the first moment I saw it. It is one of my favorite European cities as well! Your post brought back a lot of great memories, thank you! 🙂

Oh yes, isn't it where the Chapel of Bones is @Bobiisha ? Haha like me I too fell in love with Lisboa the first moment I saw it.....just an amazing city.

Exactly, @AdamGT. Did you had a chance to see the Chapel? I went a few times (because when different friends came they always wanted to see it) and I admit I got the goosebumps. I mean it was kind of creepy. However, Evora is a great city, although small there are a lot of historical places to see and the whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. How amazing is that!

Oh no @Bobiisha I could only visit it with one eye shut and I think on seeing that entrance sign “Our bones are here, for yours we wait” I'd run lol 😎. Oh dear you visited each time you had friends visit 😞 So you are a Chapel of Bones experienced tour guide 😉 But yes we knew about it and debated visiting Evora when on our first trip to Lisboa. My friend so wanted to see it with her own eyes plus there are a number of museums and historical places there and as you mention the whole city is UNESCO World Heritage listed so it must be an amazing place. You should write a post about it and add some photos 😉

Lisbon is on my list and while I would certainly enjoy and marvel at the historic buildings and amazing street scenes I would be visiting to ride and if I can talk my way into it drive the roller coaster trams 🙂
Lisbon city is a symbol of renewal and rebirth and the story remembers me the Phoenix phoenix bird who got life from the pile of debris and ashes. Thanks @AdamGT for the very informative and interesting post.
