About Azulejos Tiles
Porto
Azulejos, the iconic blue-and-white painted ceramic tiles, are a defining feature of Porto’s architecture and can be found on buildings, churches, and public spaces throughout the city. These tiles often depict a variety of historical, religious, and scenic themes, contributing to Porto’s unique cultural and architectural identity. One of the most famous places to see azulejos is at São Bento Railway Station, where over 20,000 tiles depict significant moments in Portuguese history, including royal events and battles. Another notable location is the Igreja do Carmo, which has a chapel adorned with intricate azulejos illustrating religious themes. The Palácio da Bolsa also features beautiful azulejos, adding to the neoclassical grandeur of the building. The Church of Saint Ildefonso near Batalha Square is another great example, with its vibrant azulejo facade portraying scenes from the life of Saint Ildefonso. On Rua de Miguel Bombarda, you’ll find both traditional and contemporary azulejos on buildings along the street, often seen in modern art galleries.
