Talk:Portuguese pavement

So, what is it?
The introduction fails to mention what "Portuguese pavement" is. There needs to be an explanation of what distinguishes Portuguese pavement from other types of pavement. 83.209.123.210 (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * It’s just a form of sett (paving), and should be a subsection within that article, or at most an article within a series of parvement types, not something written as a tourism brochure. Why is it a separate article? Well, call it exotification, on the part of most English-speaking editors, and nacional-bacoquismo on the part of all the Zezés Camarinhas who created this and so many other such articles.

No mention of one of the most famous landscape architects of all time, despite him designing copacabana beach 'portugese pattern' as you describe it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.53.192 (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Where are the sources?

Olivença?
I think we better remove the statement about Olivença, not because it is false, but because it's misleading. Portuguese pavement can in fact be seen throughout Spain, albeit occasionally. It seems to me that the author was a bit too eager to underscore the supposed Portuguese identity of Olivença. Steinbach (talk) 07:48, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Steinbach (talk) I can only agree to remove the statement if you can provide other prominent examples of Portuguese pavement in Spain. Anyway, I think that the statement can be improved by rephrasing, as it gives too much emphasis to Olivença in detriment of the former Portuguese colonies which are, in my opinion, much more relevant.Herrikez (talk) 09:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Relationship with other types of mosaics
I was reading and noticed a striking similarity between the given examples from Mithraeum of Felicissimus and the examples of Portuguese pavement, mainly in materials and technique. Could there be a connection? Perhaps with Roman mosaics in general? --Fernando Trebien (talk) 18:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
