Bairro Alto (Portuguese pronunciation:[ˈbai̯ʀu ˈaɫtu]; literally: Upper District) is a central district of the city of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital. Unlike many of the civil parishes of Lisbon, this region can be commonly explained as a loose association of neighbourhoods, with no formal local political authority but social and historical significance to the urban community of Lisbon.
The bairro or "neighbourhood" resulted from urban expansion in the 16th century, forming outside the walls of the historical city, and is characterized by an almost orthogonal tract (developing from two phases of distinct urbanization).
It is a fundamental quarter of Lisbon, organized into a hierarchical scheme of roads and lanes: the roads, the structural axis, run perpendicular to the river; and the lanes, or secondary axis, cut parallel to the river. The matrix of allotments reflects the persistent use of the medieval layout; the division and multiplication of this module had its origin in the variations of the architectural typology. The space constructed is dominated by living spaces implanted in long narrow lots, of three- to four-storeys in height, with asymmetric facades consisting of windows along the various storeys and staircases along the lateral flanks. Although less representative, the Pombaline-era buildings are common, essentially introducing modifications to the level of the façade's composition. Although there are many typological variations to the facade designs, certain elements are repeated, such as the corners, bay and sill windows, eaves and attics, securing a homogeneous urbanized front.
Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming saying something about a queen There were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree There was a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen-seventies I was lying in a burned out basement with a full moon in my eyes I was hoping for a replacement when the sun burst through the skies There was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high I was thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie Thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie Well I dreamed i saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow haze of the sun There were children crying and colors flying all around the chosen one All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
