On top of the highest hill in Lisbon sits St. Georges Castle. The area is called the Alfama. The castle started out as a 5th century Visigothic fort. Then the Moors came and built the castle. In 1147 Dom Afonso Henriques expelled the Moors and the kings or Portugal lived here until the 16th century. A lot of the castle was destroyed during the great earthquake of 1755. Now the castle is one of the tourist favorites because it has the best views of the city. One can take a taxi to the top of the hill, and later take a minibus down.

The mosaic sidewalk in Copacabana: an International logo

The work of Burle Marx to the neighborhood of Copacabana, which includes the preservation of the waves in Portuguese stone along the shore. The landscape remade the original designs of the Portuguese pavers, emphasized their sensuality as the expansion of the pavement and kept parallel with the waves of the sea, which was implemented in 1929 by the reform pavers already qualified in Brazil. In the median of the boulevard and the floor adjacent to buildings, Burle Marx applied new drawings created with black and red (basalt) and white (limestone) rocks.
