The National Tile Museum (Museu Nacional do Azulejo) is one of Portugal’s most important national museums, for its unique collection of azulejo tiles. The tiles are a distinctive artistic expression of Portuguese culture, and you’ll be able to learn more about them inside the former Convent of Madre Deus building, founded in 1509 by Queen Leonor. Take a journey through the history of tiles, from the 15th century to the present day. Alongside the history of tiles, you’ll explore a beautiful example of Portuguese Baroque that’s profusely decorated with gilded carvings, paintings, and – of course – tiles.

Right on the banks of the Tagus River sits the National Tile Museum, paying homage to the azulejo (tile) - part of Portugal’s defining artistic heritage. Its humble exteriors are no match for its grand interiors. Take a closer look at this craft and see the detail that goes into each tile, as they portray everything from major historical events to symmetrical patterns. Tiled works of art adorn streets, homes, churches, and buildings all over Lisbon and the country. Enhance your visit with the audio guide option in English, providing deeper insights into the exhibits.
