Museu Nacional Do Azulejo: Dedicated to decorative tile art
Located somewhat outside the tourist route to the east of the city center, the National Museum of Plates is worth looking for its unique collection of Azulejos - decorative plates - and the fabulous ornament Igreja de Deus.The permanent exhibition follows the evolution of the manufacture of tiles from the Moorish days through the Spanish influence and the appearance of Portugal's own style.The work of Portuguese tile presents more blue and white asulejos, with a single remarkable piece, a panorama with 36 meters compared to Lisbon before the earthquake, one of the culminating points of the collection.Here, visitors are treated with one of the most exuberant and decorative interior of the church from anywhere in Portugal, a sumptuous baroque showcase of golden wood, bright azulejos from the seventeenth century and an amazing Rococo type altar.
