Portugal is a country rich in history and culture, famous for the beauty of its buildings, many of which are decorated with ceramic tiles called ‘azulejos’. These colourful mosaics, which adorn the façades of houses, churches and palaces, tell stories of tradition, art and religion. The azulejos, which vary in pattern from geometric to figurative, are a true expression of Portuguese identity. Shades of blue, yellow, green and white blend in a visual harmony that makes every corner of the country unique. In addition to decorating urban spaces, azulejos represent a deep connection to popular culture and Portugal’s historical past, making every city, from Lisbon to Porto, an open-air museum.
