Castle of São Jorge[edit]

**Original** - The Castle of São Jorge occupies a commanding position overlooking the city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and the Tagus River beyond. The fortified citadel, which dates from medieval times, is located atop the highest hill in the historic centre of the city. The castle is one of the main historical and touristic sites of Lisbon.

Reason: great size and detail, a good overall view of the citadel's position, has been stable in both articles for several months. (I stole the caption from the previous nom, here: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Castle of São Jorge, which failed to reach quorum.)

Oppose Frankly, when I see this picture the first thing I notice is not the castle but some boring, identical blocks of flats. Moreover, it's at places hard to discern where the fortress begins and where the modern buildings end. I'm sure we could find much more beautiful views of Lisbon than this.Desiderius82 (talk) 10:15, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify a couple things, an FP doesn't have to be beautiful, and the scope of this nom is the Castle of São Jorge, not Lisbon in general. Of course you are still entitled to your oppose. Fletcher (talk) 02:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This is intended as a panorama designed to show the castle in context of location; it would have been quite easy to get just the castle itself. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but does this panorama stand out, deserving to be considered an FP? I'm saying no. For panoramas of important buildings in their contexts that are worth to be FP's you can check out [1] or [2]. This one is not just good enough - IMHO.--Desiderius82 (talk) 18:16, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
