Light and shadow in Elvas
The small Museum of Sacred Art in Elvas is a meandering sequence of stairways, rooms and corridors – wrapped around the cathedral walls – leading to a couple of precious paintings by 16th century Spanish artist Luis de Morales. Urban Sketchers Raia made it the location for their 26th sketch meeting, seeking shelter from the stabbing cold and the stubborn rain.
Capela de Nossa Senhora da Guia (Rua da Mouraria)
This old 16th century portal in the edge of the old town of Lisboa, in the area called Mouraria, aparently hides architectural and artistic treasures inside its doors.
