Different types of street art from Evora, Portugal (3 pics)

in StreetArt3 years ago

Evora is a medieval town which is still surrounded by walls.

It is a charming little town in the south of Portugal which has a lot of history having been invaded by the Romans and then by the Moors before being taken over by Portugal.

Even though the city retains a fairly classic small town look, you can see street art in a few places.


This murals made on a fence in front of a building under restoration is simply brilliant and its a perfect piece for the CCC's Street Art Contest.

Why settle for mesh or ugly sheer curtains; a pretty mural is much better for concealing work.

I hope other cities will adopt this idea.

Unfortunately I can't read the artist's name; I'm sure this is not his first work nor his last.

It is so different from the other murals seen in town and I hope it was preserved after the work.

Here, a more classic work that we see often is small town; azulejos are present everywhere in Portugal and add a certain cachet to buildings.

Sometimes you really have to have good eyesight and a little luck to see them.

I was quite surprised to see one at the top of a water cistern which also serves as a cell relay.

Still made with the azulejos but more contemporary this time.
