Tiled Facade with Balconies on Rua do Alecrim, Lisbon
This striking corner building on Rua do Alecrim in Lisbon showcases the city’s love affair with azulejos—traditional ceramic tiles that bring everyday architecture to life. Covering the facade in geometric patterns of soft greens, yellows, and blues, the tiles glisten under the afternoon light, creating a rhythmic surface that contrasts beautifully with the wrought-iron balconies and arched windows. Each balcony seems to invite a pause above the bustling street, where pedestrians and cars weave through Lisbon’s historic center. The corner perspective highlights the elegance of 19th-century design adapted to the city’s steep hills, where architecture and artistry meet seamlessly in daily life.
