Housed in the former 16th-century Convent of Madre de Deus, this unique museum chronicles the history and artistry of Portugal's iconic ceramic tiles, or azulejos. Exhibits showcase tile evolution from Moorish geometric patterns to contemporary murals. The standout highlight is a monumental 23-meter blue-and-white tiled panorama of Lisbon created in 1738, capturing the pre-earthquake capital, alongside an opulent gilded baroque church.
