RE: Visit Portugal - Roman Throne of Miradouro de Santa Justa

in Worldmappinyesterday

What a wonderful place. I didn't know it existed. It gathers all the things that I love the most in life: wonderful landscapes, that pleasant sense of solitude that only nature can give you, and history, intended as an awareness of the people who came before us, and therefore of where we come from.
In this, nature and history are very similar: in nature, we rediscover our biological element, and in history our social, cultural and identity-related element. Both make us part of 'something greater'.

I thought of sharing this reflection with you because it came to my mind while reading your post. Being Italian, I have always admired the Romans with a particular sensitivity.

Another thing I appreciate is the incredible charm of miradouros. I've seen the ones in Lisbon, I couldn't avoid to stay there, they are so evocative and stimulate the imagination in many ways. I would love to see this one with my own eyes.
Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂

Hi @alecaltab 😀

Nature indeed has a way of bringing us closer to ourselves, offering that solitude and reflection that is so rare in everyday life. Its wonderful to take those moments to just be and let the surroundings inspire us!
Here, we are deeply connected to history, especially the legacy of the Romans. They came here in search of gold!

If you ever visit Porto, don't miss the chance to explore these nearby mountains, the name is Serras do Porto. Thanks a lot for your comment.
