A photo of tiles of a photo.



Palácio de Cristal is one of the city parks. It's called like this(Crystal Palace) because of a iron and glass structure that  existed here till 1951, when it was demolished to build the Sports Pavillion known as Pavilhão Rosa Mota, the huge dome building which you can spot from various places through the city.

It's still a big issue in the city, because everybody still thinks that the old building was better than the actual one.

Nowadays, in the park, you can admire some sculptures, nice gardens, and nice river views. At the dome building there's frequent events like book markets, children activities or concerts.

During summer you can watch live concerts. There's also a public library and, close by, the Romantic Museum and Quinta da Macierinha (a farm).

A map of Hazul

Hazul is one of the most famous writers in Oporto.

A self-raised artist, he uses the abandoned houses doors, and walls, in the city, to create is works of art.

Influenced by Klimt, Mucha, Hokusai. Hiroshige, and the "old" Mayan, Egiptian and Celtic cultures, he confesses that he admires Liqen and Pantónio.



Hazul earned a special place in the graffiti scene in Oporto, after his works started to be "covered" by the anti-graffiti campaign conducted by the local municipality - it was a big scandal.




We went to the street with our tiny camera and tried to make a map with is creations, but it's difficult, he is always creating something new.





If you know a work that it's not listed, please let us know.
