The azulejo stands out as one of the most remarkable expressions of Portuguese culture and represents a unique contribution of Portuguese talent to world culture. Introduced to Portugal by the Moors during the Middle Ages, azulejos gained prominence in the late 15th century when pottery workshops emerged in Lisbon producing azulejos using the faience technique imported from Italy.
Portuguese azulejos reached their peak between the 16th and 18th centuries. Large panels were manufactured to adorn churches, palaces, and other public buildings. Azulejos not only decorated spaces but also narrated stories and captured the essence of Portuguese culture.
The azulejo is one of the strongest cultural expressions of Portugal and one of the most original contributions of Portuguese ingenuity to world culture.
