PAINEL DE AZULEJOS ROSSIO. VISEU. “Em 1930,(…) Por proposta do Capitão Almeida Moreira, a Comissão de Iniciativa decidiu revestir a «curva do Rossio» com um painel de azulejos artísticos, a cargo do Mestre Joaquim Lopes, reputado pintor e professor da Escola de Belas Artes do Porto. O Painel, cujos azulejos foram produzidos pela Fábrica do Agueiro (Vila Nova de Gaia), e que inicialmente se destinava a assinalar os pontos de interesse turístico da região, acabou por representar motivos regionalistas como figuras alegóricas do mundo rural beirão e cenas de feira. Foi inaugurado em 13/12/1931, com a sua entrega simbólica pela Comissão de Iniciativa à Câmara Municipal.” texto de Luís da Silva Fernandes in  http://arquivo.projectopatrimonio.com/viseupedia/cromo_se_n01.html
