40th Birthday Party Lisbon Bridge at sunset Invitation Postcard

This is an illustration of the old Lisbon Bridge at sunset in pink hues. The 25 de Abril Bridge or 25th of April Bridge, Portuguese is a suspension bridge connecting Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tagus river. The bridge was inaugurated in 1966 and named Salazar Bridge after Portuguese Prime Minister Salazar, who ordered its construction. He ruled as a dictator until 1974. Soon after the Carnation Revolution, the bridge was renamed after the day it occurred. Reminiscent in the design and colouring of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, it was inaugurated in 1966. Both Lisbon and San Francisco are located on seven hills and have trams for transport and suspension bridges. It has two levels, the top level is for cars and the lower, which was added in 1999 is for trains. When you cross it you get great views of Lisbon, the Tagus, and the Christo Rei statue on the south bank. This item will undoubtedly please Portuguese-Americans or Luso-Americans, any citizens and residents of the United States who are connected to the country of Portugal by birth, ancestry, or citizenship. But you can use this for a Portuguese-themed party too. The style is simple, this illustration is in soft pink tones and is marked by the contrast of the reddish-orange tones of the bridge's painted structure. It was inspired by vintage travel posters. As, always, you can change the words, the font, the colours, place it elsewhere, or remove it.
