The tiles in Lisbon are one of the defining elements of the city, and you can see them everywhere.

The Chafariz do Carmo fountain dates from 1771. This is located in Largo do Carmo, location of the Carnation Revolution, also known as the 25 April, a military coup by military officers that overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo government on 25 April 1974.

Tiles of Rua Agusta, the road that links the city's two main squares (Rossio and Praça do Comércio).

Franco, our terrific guide is serving us Pasteis de Nata, egg custard tart pastries that originated here and were created by monks.

The tiles are known in Portugal as ‘azulejo,' (meaning ‘polished stone’).

Looking down Rua Agusta toward the Arco da Rua Augusta.

The Azulejo art was imported from Seville (which was occupied by the Moors for over 500 years) by King Manuel I after a visit to the town in 1503.

Chagas Hill-In this photo you can see the Convento do Carmo and the Elevador de Santa Justa.

The tiles help regulate the temperature of buildings, keeping interiors cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Moreover, they protect the facades from humidity and wear, making them a durable and functional choice for construction.

I had Brian take a photo of me in front of the tile, because I matched the blue.

I thought this house was so beautiful covered in tile.

A photo of Brian and I at the romantic terrace by the church of Santa Luzia. Not really romantic because of all the tiktokers also enjoying the view.

I loved seeing this father explain the story in these tile to his son. "Martim Moniz, in the Castle of Lisbon, dies in glory by lodging his own body in the gateway that still bears his name today."

Also on the terrace by the church of Santa Luzia.

My TikTok shot from the terrace, but I'm not on TikTok.

The Lisbon tramway network has been In operation since 1873, it presently comprises six lines and 63 trams.

This lady in the Alfama neighborhood is selling Ginjinha, a sour cherry liqueur that was created here in Lisbon.

You can get it served in a chocolate cup, just like Brian and I saw in a Hallmark movie.

Our guide said that this lady looks out every time he brings a tour down this street, If she wasn't there he would have to go check to see if she was ok.
