Azulejo is the tin-glazed painted ceramic tile common in Portugal. Produced since the 15th century, it can be found on churches, palaces, shops, and residential architecture. Inlaid on walls, floors, ceilings- no surface is untouched. Travel to Lisbon for a tour of the ornate Metro Stations. Stay in a design hotel and visit the National Museum. Capture the spirit of the porcelain city by bringing rich blue and white accents into the home. September 2013 |
