Portuguese pavement (in Portuguese, ‘Calçada Portuguesa’), is the traditional paving used in most pedestrian areas in Portugal and old Portuguese colonies such as Brazil and Macau. Being usually used in sidewalks, it is in plazas and atriums this art finds its deepest expression. Usually black and white stones of basalt and limestone are used. In Macau we can find other interpretations of ‘Portuguese Pavement’ by using new pictures por practical uses.
