    SEEINGLISBON A GUIDE TO GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR STAY magentablackcyanyellow ES959734_OTECG0817_cv1.pgs 08.22.2017 19:44 ADV It‘s Better, It‘s Different – Welcome to the city of discoverers Vasco da Gama began his ingenious discovery tours in the city on the western edge of Europe and greatly enhanced people’s conception of the world. He strongly questioned some approaches to knowledge and paved the way for trade with India. Following his achievements, Lisbon enjoyed a time of great prosperity that came to a sudden end following the disastrous earthquake in 1755. What we experience as an impressive city image today, especially the Baixa, was created in the 18th century. Only the Torre de Belém still reminds us of the time of great sailors and their untiring spirit of discovery. Of course, the time of individual explorations is long past, but the urge for new knowledge has remained unchanged. Today, it is a great number of people who work on the front lines with curiosity, diligence and persistence to bring about progress. They have come to Lisbon as well, to make new discoveries by sharing scientific and practical approaches. Not only in lectures, workshops and discussions but also in dialogues with industry, at the Oertli booth for example. Discover the total range of cataract and posterior segment surgical platforms, the latest functions of the OS4 device, an amazingly simple MIGS method and the new FEELceps line, or simply discover the friendliness and competence of our employees at booth no P263.

  • THE SINTRA WORLD HERITAGE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE (Portugal)
    Report on the Joint ICOMOS/IUCN mission to evaluate the state of conservation of THE SINTRA WORLD HERITAGE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE (Portugal) P.J. Fowler (ICOMOS) and G. Collin (IUCN) 49-51 rue de la Fédération - F-75015 Paris - France - Tel + 33 1 45 67 67 70 - Fax + 33 1 45 66 06 22 Report on the joint ICOMOS/IUCN MISSION to evaluate the state of conservation of THE SINTRA WORLD HERITAGE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE (Portugal) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A mission to evaluate the state of conservation (suivi réactif) to Sintra Cultural Landscape proved unnecessary in the strict sense, for this World Heritage Site is not under urgent threat nor is it being badly managed. This mission arrived, however, at a critical point in the evolution of management of a World Heritage Site which has been defined within a landscape generally under tremendous external pressure for development. It lies in a popular area devoted to leisure, recreation and retirement and holiday living; yet, with its mountains, forests and waters, quite apart from its historical, architectural and aesthetic interests, the Cultural Landscape and its environs provide a priceless ‘green lung’ for the residents of nearby Lisbon. This report therefore discusses various issues arising from this situation and makes nine recommendations to the World Heritage Committee. 2 CONTENTS 1.
