Lisbon,
with its vintage wooden trams and Art Nouveau cafes, expresses a low-key pace that makes this capital city one of the most amiable and gracious in the world. The city's populace, which includes large communities of Africans and Asians and numbers around 1 million total, suggests Lisbon's importance as a port-of-call for citizens from around world. In every building (and sometimes on the outside) are impressive blue and white mosaics that have made Lisbon famous. Because of successive and calamitous earthquakes during the seventeen hundreds, the worst of which occurred in 1755 and took the lives of 40,000 , Lisbon's architecture is predominantly from the late 18th century, producing an elegant landscape that is more than pleasing to the modern eye. One monument that managed to survive the devastation is the Monastery of Jerónimos, begun in 1502 and exhibiting an extravagance of ornamentation that is purely Portuguese.
