Ornate tile work, Lisbon, Portugal - At the front of a shop

---

Even though tiles are originally from Egypt, they were first brought to Portugal by the Arabs, in the 13th century at the time of their invasion, which also helped shaped Portugal’s culture. However, it was in the time of King D. Manuel I that tiles were first introduced to Portugal. They were, in fact, imported from Seville after the King’s visit to Spain.
