Nearly a hundred sketches, done by over fifty authors, revisiting the original hundred locations depicted by Alfredo Roque Gameiro settled in his native town to pay him homage.

Deep in the city center of Lisboa, there are still places that utterly feel like a village. Nothing is really public nor private here, in Beco do Castelo.

The narrow street that runs in the north-south direction, connects Martim Moniz to Intendente square, has become, in the latest years, home to immigrant communities, mostly from the Indian sub-continent.

There are many words for square in the Portuguese language, each with a specific meaning, or maybe not so much  – praça, largo, terreiro, adro… It so happens that rossio is just another one, as there are several rossios around the country, but there is one which people simply call Rossio.

The Cais das Colunas lies in the edge of the Terreiro do Paço, a platform protruding into the Tejo estuary. The columns that name it have been coming and going, and it seems that they were on their day off at the time Roque Gameiro stopped by to visit.

Little has changed in the century that spans between these two images. The São Paulo square remains pretty much the same since the time of Roque Gameiro. The late 18th century style architecture that characterized the post-earthquake reconstruction prevails. The 19th century fountain is still in the center of the square.
