About Azulejo
The azulejo is perhaps Portugal's most recognisable visual symbol worldwide. Glazed and painted ceramic tiles — originally in blue and white tones — cover building facades, churches, train stations and houses throughout the country. The tile tradition arrived in Portugal in the 15th century through Moorish influence and became a national art form. At A Pharmácia da Avó, azulejo-inspired elements are part of our space's visual identity.
