Lisbon Local

Portugal is famous for the colorful tiles decorating its buildings. To learn more about them and see some up close, check out the Museu do Azulejo, housed in a convent dating back to 1509. It’s one of the most important museums in Portugal because it explains the importance of azulejos (tiles) and the development of styles from 15th-century Moorish times until the present.
