tiles have been a thing in portugal
for centuries.
literally.
while visiting in late march, i took the liberty of photographing a lot. of. tile.
because i happen to love straight lines and things geometric in nature.
so it's no surprise that i'm kinda fascinated by all the tile around portugal.
allora, here are some of the azulejos that caught my eye!
these are from porto.

| igreja do carmo |
 |
| up close |
 |
| lots of blues and whites |
 |
| sao bento train station |
 |
| part of porto cathedral |
 |
| chapel of souls |
and just a couple from lisbon.
 |
| entire buildings were covered. |
 |
| one of lisbon's most famous breweries: cervejaria trindade. it used to be a monastery. |
and a few from sintra, a small town just outside of lisbon.
 |
| this one is, perhaps, not tile, but i love it. |
 |
| so these were different. |
 |
| tiled street signs, of course. |
stay tuned for more on my trip to portugal!
