History of Azulejo's:
Azulejo's, ceramic tiles adorned with intricate designs, have been a hallmark of Portuguese culture for centuries. Introduced by the Moors in the 15th century, Azulejo's quickly became an integral part of Portuguese architecture, used to decorate palaces, churches, and homes. Over time, they evolved from simple geometric patterns to elaborate scenes depicting historical events, religious motifs, and vibrant landscapes. Today, Azulejo's continue to be cherished as symbols of Portugal's rich heritage and artistic legacy, gracing buildings and interiors with their timeless beauty and storytelling prowess.
