Lisbon The seaport city of Lisbon is situated on the Northern bank of the Tugus River and is the capital of Portugal. The harbor is of great importance as it links Northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean ports. LISBON has a population of 710,000 The city is set on seven hills and is dominated b the fort, Castel de Sao Jorge. Though many of the old buildings were destroyed by earthquakes, some of the medieval buildings remain. The old section of the city about the Cathedral, Alfoma, has picturesque relics. Many of the buildings are of tile veneer. The roads are of cobble stones and the sidewalks of small marble squares. Many of us walked about the city viewing the sights and taking pictures at random. The tools and methods employed in building are still of a primitive nature. Most of their Hshing craft still use the sail for propulsion. lA familiar sight is the passing of the varinas, the dark-skinned Hshwives, who pass grace- full through the crowds balancing heavy baskets of iish on their heads. A number of us took the tour to Fatima to see the shrine of the Blessed Virgin. A monument now stands where tree stood, that she appeared in. WW' as IAQ-2.3
