Azulejo 06

One of many Azulejos, found in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

 

Azulejos are a form of Spanish and Portuguese painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework.

They are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations.

They were not only used as an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control in homes.
