O Bairro Alto nos Caminhos do Barroco
Organized by the Centro Nacional de Cultura, this walk takes you to know the Portuguese Baroque, characterized both for the sobriety of the architectonical space as for the exuberance of its decoration. The golden chromium plated woodcarving, the
glazed tiles, the decorative paintings, the stucco, the furniture and, generally, the plastic and decorative arts, combine to create the ostentation of the Baroque. The references of this tour are notable exemplars of the Portuguese art (civil and religious architecture), through which you can be integrated in the spirit of a time that marked the XVII and XVIII centuries.
