  • Elderly gentlemen crossing the Rua de Fernandes Tomas with Azulejo tiles on the exterior of Capela Das Almas, on 19th July, in Porto, Portugal. The Church's magnificent panels depict scenes from the lives of various saints, including the death of St Francis and the martyrdom of St Catherine. Eduardo Leite painted the tiles in a classic 18th-century style, though they actually date back only to the early 20th century. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • Joined by two pigeons to separate them, a group of Segway tourists stop to hear their guide describe the medieval and Moorish Alfama district's history, ironically next to a crowd of like-minded pedestrians, on 11th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. Segway tours have become controversial additions to the European city sightseeing scene, already being banned in Barcelona and Prague. But in Portuguese cities like Lisbon and Porto, Segway travellers still share narrow and busy streets and often, pavements, with locals on foot.

  • A Matadores pauses for a moment before entering the bullring at an evening 'Corrida de Touros', on 15th July 2016, at Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. A matador de toros (or "killer of bulls" from Latin mactator, killer, slayer, from mactare, to slay) is considered to be both an artist and an athlete, possessing great agility, grace, and co-ordination. The great personal danger of bullfighting adds to the performing matador's mystique; matadores are regularly injured by bulls and, concurrently, 533 professional bullfighters have been killed in the arena since 1700. In the Portuguese version, unlike Spanish bullfights, the bull is not killed. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • Thousands of Portuguese sports fans cheer their national football team bus as it passes-by during their victory procession through the capital's streets, the day after the Euro 2016 final with France, on 11th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal.

  • An urban landscape zigzag of shadows from the steps and handrails of Alameda Metro station, on 14th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. One the sunny side are the distorted lines  of the well-trodden stairs at this main transport merge of underground train lines - and the blue tiles that act as cobbles, seen on all Portuguese streets.

  • As a local leans out from a window above and others walk uphill, one of the two cars of the funicular railway climbs the steep gradient of on Rua de Bica de Duarte Belo (Elevador da Bica), on 13th July 2016, in Bairro Alto district, Lisbon, Portugal. The mechanical motor of the elevator was installed in 1890, but the lift only began functioning on 28 June 1892, after a couple of years of tests. The Bica Funicular is a funicular railway line in the civil parish of Misericórdia, in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It connects the Rua de São Paulo with Calçada do Combro/Rua do Loreto, operated by Carris. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • Seen from Miradouro de de Santa Luzia, the 'Independence of the Seas' cruise liner dominates the medieval/Moorish district rooftops of Alfama, on 13th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. Pollution from such huge ships is a toxic problem that is growing as the cruise industry and its ships get ever bigger, docking close to communities with narrow streets such as Lisbon. MS Independence of the Seas is a Freedom-class cruise ship operated by the Royal Caribbean cruise line which entered service in April 2008. The 15-deck ship can accommodate 4,370 passengers and is served by 1,360 crew. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

The waters here are said to have therapeutic value in the treatment for bad circulation, muscle tone, rheumatism and renal problems. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • The vaulted roof and tall columns in the central nave of Alcobaca Monastery (Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Alcobaca), on 16th July, at Alcobaca, Portugal. The monastery was completed in 1223 for the Cistercian order and added to further by King Dinnis (Dennis) who built the main cloister and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Austere architecture is in keeping with the Cistercian regard for simplicity. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
