Azulejos

A lot of the Mosaic tilework found in public places, churches, palaces and monuments are of the blue-and white variety, which became popular in the second half of the 17th century. The Spanish artist Gabriel del Barco Y Minusca introduced into Portugal the blue-and-white tiles from Delft in the Netherlands.
