Summary: On the slopes of the Alfama neighborhood, Lisbon is like an amphitheater looking out onto the Tagus estuary. At the foot of the hill, on the flatlands of the early 20th-century infill of the port, the building of the new Cruise Terminal echoes, and returns, that gaze: a small amphitheater, apparently with its back to the river, looks back at the city.
