Renowned for their intricate patterns and vibrant colors, Lisbon’s azulejos adorn churches, palaces, and ordinary buildings alike. The National Azulejo Museum provides a comprehensive overview of these ceramic tiles’ evolution, tracing Moorish influences to modern artists. Many facades showcase unique designs telling stories of Portugal’s maritime prowess, religious devotion, and everyday life. Wander through Alfama and Bairro Alto to spot well-preserved examples, or look for contemporary interpretations on metro stations. Remember to respect the architectural heritage by avoiding damage, and consider bringing home a hand-painted souvenir tile from local artisans as a cherished keepsake.
