It is located in Praça da República, city of Viseu, in central Portugal
In the square in Viseu known as Rossio you will find a beautiful tile panel that is worth appreciating.
The Rossio Tiles classified as a Monument of Municipal Interest are a tourist icon in Viseu and are located in the city's main square and were designed by Porto native Joaquim Lopes.
The panel has become one of the main icons from the point of view of the city's identity and tourist image, alongside others such as the Cathedral or the Cava de Viriato.
The panel is signed by the first generation of Portuguese modernist artists, the Porto painter Joaquim Lopes in 1931 and depicts scenes from rural life in the region.
It features figures from the Beira rural world such as the staff, Caramulo's capucha, the shepherd with the beanpole and blanket over his shoulder and a young shepherd playing the flute.
The panel also presents commercial activities such as a livestock fair, the sale of crockery and a food and drink area and were produced by Fábrica do Agueiro de Vila Nova de Gaia.
An impressive creation of public art in tile mural that testifies to a historic moment of urban and aesthetic reform in Viseu.
The tile panel depicts typical clothing from the region, characters and scenes from traditional life, 5 representations of a castle tower.
The lower part of the panel has a frieze that repeatedly depicts two feathers but also several figures surrounded by frames decorated with floral motifs.
The decorative tile panel is one of the most notable elements of Praça da República placed on a wall decorating the uneven terrain between the square and Jardim das Mães (Jardim das Mães).
The visitor on the panel can observe the drawings that combine blue and white representing typical aspects of the city's beginning of the 20th century: the cattle market (which took place in this square), herding and other traditional crafts.
