LISBON (Reuters) - Pope Francis arrived in Lisbon on Wednesday to start a five-day visit centred around the World Youth Day, a global gathering of young Catholics.
The ITA Airways plane carrying the pontiff, his entourage and reporters landed at Lisbon's Figo Maduro military air base.
His first stop will be a welcoming ceremony hosted by Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the presidential Belem Palace.
