Photographer’s Note

Tenements in the centre of the city of Evora, Giraldo Square (Praca do Giraldo). Roughly 150 km south of Lisbon, Evora stands out quite distinctly on the vas horizon of the Alentejo plain. The city has more than two millennia of history, its narrow streets evoking memories of the Moorish presence, in sharp contrast to its squares, which are flooded with sunlight. With a public arcade on one side, Giraldo Square acts as a kind of city forum, enlivened by its welcoming and friendly pavement cafes.
