This image is copyright www.sights-and-culture.com where there is an explicit assertion of copyright. The image does not add any meaning to the Lisbon article and the contents of the image are not discussed in the text, consequently any claim for fair use is entirely spurious.

So sorry, but I do not agree. An image gives more than adornment, it teaches by it self. One image teaches more than a thousand words. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 15:04, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

Mr Martinez, I am sorry you are feeling so defensive but the picture doesn't even say where it is in Lisbon or what it depicts. KTDiputsho 15:15, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
