Mouraria is, supposedly, where fado began. This exhibit is a journey through the borough beginning in the Rua de Capelão where the first well known fadista Maria Severa died in 1846. Along the way you will find photographs printed onto wood, and the walls, of fadistas past and present who have some affiliation with the neighbourhood. You will find a map of the route at the beginning in the Rua de Capelão. This was a collaborative project with families in Mouraria.
