Deliciosamente!

Отличное фото!
На нем сразу несколько достопримечательностей Лиссабона:
река Тежа, мост(один из самых длинных в Европе), ну и главная изюминка - это статуя Христа, возвышающаяся над горой, изящно встроенная по центру опоры.

I visited Lisbon twice, but I do not recall this Christ statue. It appears to be a recent addition.

The Christ the King statue (Portuguese: Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon in the central part of Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959, while Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian President of the Council of Ministers António de Oliveira Salazar who gave his final permission for the project. The giant statue in cement was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the effects of World War.
P.S.
And you are ALWAYS WELLCOME, my dear Friend Sabirjan!
Hugs from Lisbon!

На самом деле статуя находится не в самом Лиссабоне, а в маленьком городке на противоположном берегу Тежи, на довольно таки значительном расстоянии.

Вероятно во время ваших посещений была пасмурная погода с недостаточной видимостью.
