Discover a remarkable art form in Lisbon.
Portuguese tile work found the ideal setting in Lisbon to showcase its different periods, styles and resistance to the passing of the centuries. And the tiles of Lisbon that have withstood the test of time and catastrophes continue to make their mark as works of art that are unique in the world.
Although you can't see them all, as many are installed in monuments, palaces or inside private homes, there are countless iconic and unmissable façades on the streets of Lisbon. 

Explore the history of tiles at the National Tile Museum, wander through the streets of the historic districts of Baixa/Chiado, Belém and Parque das Nações to find some unforgettable works from ancient and modern times. Discover some iconic modern works, next to the Águas Livres Aqueduct, by Abel Manta; and on Avenida Infante Santo, by Maria Keil, places marked by tiles, which Lisbon invites you to contemplate and take with you... in your heart, but not in your pocket.

Tiles are a historical heritage with a centuries-old presence in Lisbon, but they have been disappearing from their places of origin due to theft for illegal sale.
