The first image is a monument raised in honor to the combatants of the war in Africa, for me he has a special atracction and beauty because it is built in agreement with the five elements, the Air, the Earth, the Fire, the Water and the Spirituality (cross). This monument is built beside the Tower of Belém, another wel-know plenty monument and visited in Lisbon-Portugal, this was built in Rio Tejo's margin with the objective of to sight the enemy and to protect the city with canyons
