Portugal - the country of Azulejo Tiles 🇵🇹

Portuguese classic azulejo tiles appear in blue and white colors. Portuguese cities are covered with these 14th-century blue ceramic tiles with glaze that highlight buildings and monuments.

Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but also typically honor important cultural aspects of Portuguese history and tell stories. The azulejo traditionally featured tales of Portuguese explorers and their worldwide voyages.
