Praça do Município, Covilhã, Portugal

Covilhã is a visual city, it must be seen to be understood with the eyes that see the letters on the stones.        But nothing is new on the stones, just a repeated alphabet by the same order with shapes that everyone knows but no one can write it or read it. Covilha is an invisible city by the falling snow, where you can write the voices of the ground and see the invisible with open eyes. Covilhã is a city where every stone is a poem and every poem is visual.
