I took this video from the balcony of a hostel named Lisb'on Hostel. (It's on a loop, so unfortunately I didn't catch the sun setting all the way.)
In the distance you can see the Ponte 25 de Abril, which is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tagus River. It has a main span length of 1,013 metres (3,323 ft), making it the 48th longest suspension bridge in the world.
The bridge is based in part on two San Francisco Bay Area bridges. Its paint is the same International Orange colour as the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and the design is similar as well to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Both the Bay Bridge and the 25 de Abril Bridge were built by the same company.
To the left of the bridge you can just about see Santuário de Cristo Rei (The Sanctuary of Christ the King), a Catholic monument and shrine overlooking the city, situated in Almada. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959. The giant statue was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the direct destructive effects of World War II. (info taken from Wikipedia)
