Finaly I could show some photos of the most known monument of Oporto, the Clerigos Tower and the Bridge Luiz I are ex-libris of the city, the reason I don't do this photos before is because the tower was been in works. The Clerigos Tower is dated from the 18th Century, the works start in 1754 and finished in 1763, this tower is an work of the italian architect Nicolau Nasoni. The tower is 76 meters high and to go to the top we have a spiral stair with 232 steps. Next posts I will show some shots of the interior of the tower and the view for the city from the top, I hope you enjoy this new shots.

This tower looks very majestic - I am glad you had the energy to ascend those stairs - a pretty daunting task! I am looking forward to the views from the top!
