The Tiles (azulejo in Portuguese) is one of the strongest cultural expressions in Portugal.
With this tour we'll check, mostly outdoors, tiles artworks from the 16th till the 21st century.
It's a special opportunity to meet Lisbon in a totally different perspective.
I'll tell you unique stories and we'll visit unexpected places. The itinerary is about tiles but never dissociated of the history and the stories.
To end the tour we will have the opportunity to taste a codfish cake.

Casa do Alentejo

This is a house full of history. Once an aristocratic house, it was remodeled in the 19th century to house Lisbon's first casino. Here we will find a decoration with a Moorish influence, very much in keeping with the romanticism of the time. This will be the starting point for a journey over Lisbon's tiles.
Convento De Sao Pedro De Alcantara

At the church of S.Pedro de Alcântara we will discover the beginnings of the blue and white tile in Portugal. This church houses tiles from the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century.

Right in front Hard Rock Café Lisbon
The main tile factory in Portugal had its facilities here in this square until the end of the 20th century. This square is home to one of the largest and most interesting sets of tiled facades in Lisbon.
This square has always been the central square of Lisbon. Rossio is the popular name of this square and it means meeting point of the people.
