We can see in this photo two monuments of the city of Lisbon. In the foreground the Museum of Electricity. A coal-fired power plant that fed the city of Lisbon with electricity. Made essentially of brick, it has on the outer pavement stone slabs coming from Portugal, Africa and Brazil. On a second plane we can see the bridge over the Tagus river. A metal bridge similar to the famous Golden Gate of San Francisco and built by the same engineering office, with much of the steel coming from the United States of America. As we were a country discoverer of new worlds in the past centuries we ended up being a country with commercial and cultural relations with practically the whole world.
