Description
A view looking across the historic La Ribeira Old Town to the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Vitoria church in Porto, Portugal. The church is in Porto's former Jewish Quarter, the current baroque building was built between 1755 and 1769 and replaced an older church dating from 1539 that was destroyed in a fire. Situated on the steep hillsides on the northern side of the River Douro, the Historic Centre of Oporto is a UNESCO registered World Heritage Site and full of quaint narrow steets and picturesque houses. This image was taken from the plaza and terraces next to the Se do Porto cathedral, which enjoys wonderful views across the city.
