Portuguese traditional-style sidewalk - Calada Portuguesa

A patterned pavement in black and white limestone waves, a reference to Portugals maritime heritage, is pictured in Lisbon, Portugal on November 27, 2019. The Portuguese sidewalk (Calada Portuguesa), dates back to the mid 19th century, it is a traditional-style sidewalk used in many of the country pedestrian areas and in former Portuguese colonies such as Macau and Brazil. Is made with small pieces of stones arranged in a pattern or image, usually used on sidewalks, but it is in squares and atriums that this art finds its deepest expression.
