The Quinta do Mocho murals are a public art project in a housing estate in Sacavém, north east of Lisbon, Portugal.
[1][2][3] The project was initiated in 2014 and as of 2018 consisted of 94 large scale murals on buildings.
[4] In order to improve the district's image, in 2014 local officials invited Portuguese and foreign artists to paint murals on its buildings.

[4] According to local officials, since the murals were painted, a bus line now serves the area, cultural events have multiplied, and the crime rate has fallen.
