This is Mouraria.

D. Afonso Henriques order the «mouros» (name as the Arabs were known in Portugal when they invaded the country) out of cidadela, and they be crowed in this place now adays in the centre of Lisbon.

There linings had lived mouros free or, that conserved its customs: they practised its religion, they said Arab and they were governed by one alcaide. Thus it was up to 1497, it dates where D. Manuel banishes the Jews and the mouros from Portugal.

The Mouraria evokes times of obscure exploits of the knife and place of Fado singers and loafers of Alfama. Today it is over all the colorful one and it does not make badly to nobody.

Mouraria is a hill that beguins in Martin Moniz Square and goes to the top where is St Jorge Castle. One of the best known Amalia Rodrigues fado is named " Ai Mouraria!" Try to listen it in «you tube».

This photo, as all the others, does not contain any pasting or mounting. I hope you enjoy it as I've enjoyed to make it. Thank you all.

Olá Teresa,
Quando vi o thumbnail pensei que era uma colagem de duas fotos, mas depois de ler a nota... Fantástica! Excelente captura, muito gráfica e com boas cores. Gosto do pormenor da roupa pendurada poque quebra um pouco a disposição dos elementos geométricos.
Bom trabalho,
Aida

Hello Teresat!
Good contribution to theme! Wonderful colors and details! Nice architecture! Interesting note!
TFS, Best regards, Zorica

bom dia teresa, I don't know the artist josè is referring to but it is indeed a painting in disguise... it reminds me os some areas in cairo or palermo (sicily) with the fading walls and multicoloured windows,almost like the stained glass of an alternative cathedral
indeed your documentary of old lisbon is spectacular and full of sentiment
have a nice weekend dear friend
ciao

Hello Teresat
The first look at his photo and my thoughts were that it looked liked a painting, the kind you would find near Sacre Coeur in Paris.
The dead on shot is beautifully taken, giving us two different kinds of worlds.

It seems that I am going to be a lone dissenting voice here. I really like the composition and the colours but I would so much prefer more sharpness. A very fine composition

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Palette of Blues’

Hello Teresat. Nice shot at this interesting architecture complemented well with your note. It looks like an oil painting which is very interesting for a straight composition. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Teresat!
Amazing colors. Very original composition. Wonderful picture. Great effect.
TFS!

Hello Teresat,

Again a nice urban shot - actualy it's more than just an urban shot - your compositions seem to be very personal... I like that so many details are involved in your photos, I can watch and watch and always find something new...
Thank you :)

Excellent my dear friend!

Excellent architectural capture. Nice colors, with great geometry and patterns created by your composition.

TFS,
David

Very very cool shot here Teresat

I love the bisecting effect of one building blocking the other, and the rough oil-painting effect of the resolution and saturation.

Great stuff

Hi Terestat.
Very original point of view. As usual. Looks original and very effective.
My compliments.

Hi Teresat,
I like the way you captured the rustic and old appearance of the buildings ... it created a somber look reflecting the social status of this neigbourhood. Well composed and presented! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Great photo Teresat, I love the colors, looks like a fine painting. Thanks for commenting on my hummer photo & TFS your fine photos from Lisbon! I enjoy your noted too! :} Don

Greetings, Teresat -
I very much enjoyed looking through your gallery, which is full of so many excellent images of Lisbon's architecture. This one features a striking combination of colors and graphics. An amazing collision of geometric shapes and warm, vivid colors. Very well seen and captured.

Hi Teresat..nicely composed shot...very nice colors and shapes creating a nicely artistic picture.

Roger

Bom Dia Teresa,

You made an excellent crop to best show of the colours of Lisboa.
What you call -mouros- we call -moren-, so I recognised that name - a place of inspiration indeed.

TFS
Els

Dear Teresat,

When I arrived at your gallery the first time, I thought this deserves more time and I'll return. Today, while thinking I could explore a bit more. I took a long view of the photos presented on your first page and just fell in love with the splattering of color from all the photos. I think posting hard copies on a wall would be a real treat for the eye. I realized that I'll be returning to this pallette gallery more often, but I wanted to leave a note...so I chose this photo without looking at the title. There you go...I targeted the pallette within the pallette and have learned a bit more about Lisbon.

Kind regards,
Jim

Hola Mi Amiga
