It’s so cool to walk around in old convents, you can feel the weight of history everywhere :)

Looks beautiful. I can only imagine how many hours went into all those tiles

[@Escapethecouch]

unbelievable right, and all of it is from anonymous artists.

Sir did you know what are these types of white -blue tiles called?

[@Escapethecouch]

I just know them as Portuguese tiles. If they have representations of history then we call them figurative if they have geometric drawings then they are patterned tiles. The colors can differ both o figurative and patterned but blue seems to be the most common here.
