More street signs for St. Lazarus Quarter

coluna 20141205W019a11In order to attract more visitors to the St. Lazarus Quarter and to promote more in-depth visits, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) launched the “Installation of Signage Towards St. Lazarus Plan”. The first phase is centred around St. Lazarus’ Church, and directional signage will be installed in its six surrounding main arteries. The church and its surrounding streets feature a uniform group of Southern Europe style buildings. The IC stated that the Signage Plan is expected to lead to a systematic re-routing of visitors toward the Quarter, whilst boosting cultural tourism and creative industries in the neighbourhood.
