Azulejos (white and blue ceramic tiles) were made famous by the Moors, and were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their King Manuel I on a visit to the Alhambra Palace in Southern Spain was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles and requested to decorate his own palace in the same way.

English Description

Introduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.
