Nuno Cardal and Pedro Dias put together, in this coffee table book, more than 150 pictures of Lisbon.
“Lisbon, the second oldest city in the European Union (after Athens), is today one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Europe. Et pour cause. The photographs by Nuno Cardal and Pedro Dias demonstrate perfectly Lisbon’s universal nature, a city open to the world, unashamedly embracing new paradigms and utopias.”
Sarah Adamopoulos (in Preface)
