Beco Das Farinhas street, located in Mouraria and unknown to most people visiting Lisbon because it is not included in the tour routes, attracts attention with its black and white lithographic photographs on the walls of the houses. British photographer Camilla Watson, who settled in Portugal, printed the photographs she took of the elderly living in the houses on the street directly on the walls of the houses where they lived, using thick black nylons and a portable darkroom she set up on the street.

Exhibit honoring the elderly who live in Mouraria

The exhibition of photographs in the streets of the Mouraria neighborhood is simply spectacular.

Great art project: “Almas de Alfama” - translated “The Souls of the Alfama”. A tribute to the long-established residents (the series started in 2009 until today) on the walls of the old district of Lisbon: Alfama. - Cheers! By British photographic artist Camilla Watson.

The surrounding streets are a gallery/exhibition of his work.

The neighborhood overflows with personality.

The studio itself no longer exists, but photos of the residents remain on the walls. It is worth seeing and wandering around the charming alleys in this area.
