[edit] Question

Did this style have any influence in Portugal's colonies? Are there any examples in Brazil, Angola, Mozambique etc.? --Mcginnly | Natter 14:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Interesting point. The Grove mentions the work of Landi at Belém, Brazil as being (perhaps) influenced by the Pombaline style. It seems a good bet Brazilian neoclassicism owes some sort of debt to Lisbon. Twospoonfuls 17:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
