Passing by ship near the Cristo Rei in Lisbon.
When you leave Lisbon by ship and travel along the immense mouth of the Tagus River, you have to pass under the famous bridge called Ponte 25 de Abril which is located a short distance from perhaps the most famous monument in Lisbon: the Cristo Rei.
Here, on board the ex Costa Firenze a few years ago, I took some photos just as the ship passed under the bridge.

Here is where the bridge and the Christ are located:
The National Sanctuary of Christ the King or simply Christ the King is a Portuguese sanctuary located in Pragal, a former friary of the city of Almada, which in turn is part of Greater Lisbon. It is famous because behind it is a colossal statue of Christ the King, inspired by the Christ of Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, designed by the architect António Lino, built by Francisco Franco de Sousa and inaugurated on May 17, 1959. The base of the statue is shaped like a door and is 75 meters high and above it is the 28-meter statue of Christ the King.
