Mural painted in August 2020 by Jorge Charrua, for the CubomagicoViseu program (MagiccubeViseu). It was inspired by a reflection on the importance of personal space as an extension of our personal expression and identity. It is a crucial place in human development, where we can get to know ourselves, experiment and fail. 

It can be seen at Basic School 1 CEB of Ribeira, at Largo Major Monteiro Leite 90, in Viseu.

Another mural at the same school was painted by Pedro Podre, and portrays Almeida Moreira, a former military Captain, collector, professor, artist, and an important figure in Viseu in his time.

He was the founder and first director of the National Museum Grão Vasco, was a Municipal councillor. As administrator of the Tourism Committee, he was responsible for promoting Viseu in the cinema, public art, and photography.

The panel of blue tiles that could be seen in one of my previous post was commissioned by Captain Moreira to beautify the Rossio curve, now one of Viseu's iconic features.

He was born in 1873 and died in 1939.
