church, photoop, Lisbon, free, Lisboa, Estrela
Basilica da Estrela stands as one of Lisbon’s most distinguished landmarks. It was built in the late 1800’s by Queen Maria I to fulfill a vow that she made in giving birth to a son. It has a huge dome with twin bell towers decorated with saints and other figures. Inside you will find a spectacular Christmas manger complete with over 500 figures. It is possible to go to the top of the dome for a terrific view of the city. Trams 25 and 28 both start/finish next to the basilica. Directly across the street from the basilica is the wonderful Jardim da Estrela (see separate entry). Open daily from 8 AM (0800) to 1 PM (1300) and 3 PM (1500) to 8 PM (2000).
