A magnificent colorful and joyful fresco on the walls of this school, in this district, between Graça and Penha da França, which is full of beautiful murals, original azulejos, and which is still totally ignored by tourists, wrongly, since on foot we are very close to 2 unmissable miradouros (viewpoints) of Lisboa! And the wooden tram passes there 100 meters ...
It was neat to see, but as with any street art anyone can come along and throw a tag on top of it. As of July 2019 most of these "art pieces" were still pretty well preserved.
We did a private tour with my parents up on the hills of Mouraria and Graça. The tour was led by the wonderful Véro, an anthopologist passionate about street art. She explained us very thoroughly the context, the history and the unknown world of street artists. She showed us legal pieces as well as illegal pieces, explaining the differences. Thank you so much Véro for this wonderful experience, I vividly recommend to anyone that is interested in street art. Plus, you get to know two lovely neighborhoods of Lisbon!
in lisbon meny street arts are around. once unidentified amateur artists done this masterpieces. and next local authority maintaining the street arts for the beatification of city and art lovers. enjoy lisbon.
Stop as part of a walking tour, interesting to hear the history of the mural and the history of the Fado that it tells. Don't make a special visit, but a minor detour is worth while.
