National Tile Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The National Tile Museum is one of the most important museums in Lisbon, mainly displaying many exquisite ornate tiles in Portugal from the 15th century to the present. There are more than 270 pieces of tile paintings in the collection, each of which is a classic, the most remarkable of which is a 36-meter-high Lisbon tile painting. The interior decoration of the museum still retains the style of the 17th century monastery, and it also displays a special product of Portugal - ceramic tiles. Painted tiles have been around since the Moorish era. At that time, they were only used for important buildings and were a symbol of wealth, power and status. Later, they became popular among the people, and their styles and crafts became diverse. The stories drawn on the tiles are mostly related to religion and history, and of course there are other patterns such as landscapes, which can be enjoyed in this museum. A museum about tiles has been specially opened here to better let future generations understand the history and culture of tile painting. In addition to the collection of semi-industrial and industrial tiles produced in the Lisbon district, the museum also collects artistic floor tiles from France, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 20th century. In the Ceramic Museum, you can not only visit the ceramic collections, but also experience the production process of ceramics. In addition, there is an 18th-century-style restaurant here. Eating a traditional Portuguese meal here is also a different experience.

From religious works of the 1600s to modern ones, it is a museum full of history and charm of Azulejos. The church at the hotel was also overwhelmed by its luxurious and unique decoration. There are many other historic sites and facilities that cost an admission fee, but I enjoyed the contents here for 7 €. it's recommended.

Portugal's most distinctive museum, as a specialty of Portugal, for people who love beauty, will not let you down. Since the Moorish era, painted tiles have been used as symbols of wealth, rights and identity, only used in important buildings, and then flowed into the people. The story on the tiles is more religious, history related, of course there are other patterns such as scenery, slowly enjoy the carefully painted tiles.
The tile museum in Lisbon. The Portuguese tiles are very special, and the tile displays are often seen in the street and the station. There are also exquisite tile souvenirs for sale in the souvenir shop. The Tile Museum displays the unique style of Portuguese tiles, with some descriptions of religious stories. The tile puzzles of the three-story Lisbon landscape are very unique.
Personally, I like the super value here, even though the car that is not so convenient to ride is a one-way line. When I get back, I throw away all the tiles here. It's so beautiful that I can't wait to take pictures of a chapel decorated with tiles.
