Glazed ceramic tiles, azulejos decorate the most beautiful interior and exterior architectural works in Portugal. The variety of their motifs and the brilliance of their colours lend a singular charm to the churches, palaces, villas, parks and gardens they embellish.

Through the most remarkable examples, especially in Lisbon, this book presents the richness of this craft raised to the rank of art by the virtuosity of its creators, from the Palácio Nacional de Sintra to the Quinta de Bacalhoa, from the Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira to the old conventual church of Madre de Deus in Lisbon, from the polychrome azulejos to the blue-and-white cycles, from the Mudejar style to the rococo ornaments.
