You're standing at the Estrela Basilica, one of the most striking churches in Lisbon. Take a moment to look up at that huge dome. The church sits on a hill, in what was then the western edge of the city, which is why you can spot it from far away. Right on top is a lantern, a small windowed turret crowning the dome.
