Street Lamp

Lisbon, Portugal

Downtown street lamp. This lamp has the heraldic of Lisbon - a boat with two crows.
This is based on the legend that says that the body of martyr St. Vincent (Lisbon's patron)
was brought from the shores of the Algarve, where it appeared after being slain in Spain, in
a boat guarded by two black crows. Even today Lisbon inhabitants call Vincents to the crows.
