[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Clerigo’s Tower is the ex libris of Porto.

Designed by Tuscan architect Niccolo Nasoni in 1754 and completed nine years later, the tower is one of the best examples of the baroque style in Portugal.

At the time of completion, it was also the tallest building in the country. The tower is 76 meters (249 feet) high.

Its design is inspired by the Tuscan campaniles to which Nasoni was used.

Since it is located at the top of one of the hills delimiting downtown, the view from the top of Clerigos Tower is one of the best of Porto.

The whole baroque set of the Clérigos church-building-tower is his masterpiece, although he also showed his artistic genius in other works.

Clérigos Tower as it is usually known became the emblem of Porto (ex-libris) of the city.

I leave you with this view of the Clérigo’s tower as seen by the opposite side of the city over the Douro river.

Cheers,Braca

Hello Rui,
really interesting tower - it looks richly.
I would like to see it live an I hope I will have a chance..
I like the colors and the light,
greetings

Ora aqui está uma vista do Porto que não se vê todos os dias no TE. Toda a gente vai para a Ribeira e todos (incluindo eu) se esquecem que o Porto tem coisas muitiíssimo bonitas para mostrar. E a igreja do Cérigos é uma dessas. Eu estudei lá perto, na Faculdade de Ciências, nos Leões, em 1969-1971 mas nessa altura não me interessava pelos monumentos. Tinha outros objectivos!!!
Gosto muito das duas fotos apesar de terem uma forte tonalidade avermelhada, que podia ter sido evitada com uma simples passagem de "auto levels" no photoshop.

Bonjour Rui
superbe lumière sur cette succession de toit. Le cadrage de ce clocher est très plaisant et ressort bien dans cette compo. Bel équilibre.
amicalement

Hi Rui,

this is a very fascinating architecture. The silhouette allows to have the best idea of the large dimension dominating the town.

Salut amigo,
Ils ont eu une très bonne idée de placer cette tour au somment d’une colline, cela lui donne en effet encore plus de dominance dans le paysage,
La vue panoramique est très intéressante ainsi que ta note,
Très bon cadrage !
Au plaisir Rui,
Robert

Olá Rui,

Sempre bela a Torre dos Clérigos. Esta perspectiva e enquadramento estão perfeitas.
Gosto das tonalidades e a cor quente. Gosto do pormenor da gaivota, interessante.
Parabéns,
Cumprimentos cordiais,
Isa

Olá Rui,
Passei uma semana fora, viajando e perdi inúmeras belas fotos. Esta torre tem uma bela arquitetura e gostei do tom meio avermelhado da foto.
Abraços

Hi Rui
This is indeed different from the previous one and certainly much more attractive as a theme. Beautiful construction and great POV that enhances its majestic presence.

Rui,
Uma eficiente fotografia para mostrar essa linda torre. Os detalhes arquitetônicos são realmente incríveis. muito boa.

Abraço

Paulo

Olá Rui,

Preciosa vista da impresionante Igreja dos Clérigos e muito boa toma, con un bon PDV e boa definición. Também gosto muito do ben situada que está a torre da Igreja, motivo principal da foto. Polo demáis, tudo muito ben ainda que eu tampouco estou seguro de que a tonalidade avermelhada sea a millor opción. En calquera caso, iso non ten mayor importancia e a foto é francamente muito boa.

Um abraço e boa semana.
JR

It looks like an amazing piece of architecture towering over the rest of the city. Whilst this closer view allows us to admire the architctural details, the wider view in the WS emphasises even more the huge size. It looks like early evening light casting a wonderful glow over the scene. Well done
Kath

ciao Rui,
colori caldi sui tetti delle case e sulla torre che si stacca verso l'alto.
Anche il cielo risente positivamente di questa luce,ottimo lavoro
maurizio

The combination of splendid tower and the small houses is perfect.
Congrats and best regards,

Hello Mr Rui....great shot ...a typical scenario...positiv....PPP

Hello Rui,

This reminds me of Taipei 101, the late medieval version!
Interesting subject and a fine piece of engineering of its time...
The image is well composed, showing the subject in its surroundings, good colours & fine details!

Olá Rui,
É surpreendente como este ícone do Porto raramente aparece por aqui. O PdV é estupendo, além de que me parece original, com a torre a irromper entre o casario antigo que constitui um belo padrão. Tb. gosto muito dos tons quentes. Dá ideia de que usaste uma focal bem mais longa que 70mm.
Um abraço, José.

Hi Rui,

The image seem warm and perhaps some sharpening would enhance it a bit more. The view is precious with the detailed tower dominating the landscape. The tile roofs and white walls also make for a nice contrast. Nice work Rui.
