What I find really interesting here is the use of an abstract pattern (red wine coloured tiles) in the 18th century.

Speaking of windmills...
In the last decades old windmills have been restored and transformed into summer country houses, like this one located in southern Portugal (west coast).
As this post is an off-topic (nothing to do with Oeiras) I leave you with Falcão Azul (Blue Hawk), an helicopter company whose site has some interesting aerial views of Lisbon and other parts of central and southern Portugal. Click on the engish version and it will automatically show you the five clips (options on the right).

It looks like summer is here again (the third time this year); hope it's for good now! According to the weather report temperature will raise to about 30º C (86ºF) today.
A couple of days ago I was honored with the Kreative Blogger Award. Thank you so much, SP (Art of the City), and congratulations on your great blog!

May theme day: Shadows
Modern statue of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (1699-1782), 1st Marquis of Pombal and 1st Count of Oeiras. He was King José I's PM and also the man responsible for the rebuilding of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. In recognition of his work, the king gave him a lot of land and a complex of new buildings including a palace, west of the city. This is how Oeiras was born 250 years ago.
You can see his other statue in Lisbon on this post.
