Looking down over the Alfama neighborhood and São Miguel church on the right, the estuary of Tagus River can be seen in the distance. The Tagus River (Tejo in Portuguese and Tajo in Spanish) is the longest river on the Iberian peninsula (1038 kilometers / 645 miles) while the estuary makes up one of the most important wetlands in Europe, hosting a vast variety of fish, other sea life and birds migrating between Europe and Northern Africa. It is considered the largest estuary in Western Europe.
