About This Design

Portugal Azulejo tile Magnet

Portugal Azulejo tile Magnet

Azulejos are a defining feature of Portuguese art and architecture, renowned for their intricate patterns and vivid colours—especially the signature blue and white. The word "azulejo" comes from the Arabic al-zillīj, meaning “polished stone,” a nod to the Moorish influence on Iberian design. Introduced to Portugal in the 15th century via Spain, azulejos quickly evolved into a uniquely Portuguese tradition, blending Islamic geometric motifs with Renaissance, Baroque, and later Romantic and Art Nouveau styles. They are made by glazing ceramic tiles and decorating them with detailed, often hand-painted designs ranging from abstract patterns to full narrative scenes. Throughout Portugal, azulejos are more than mere decoration—they are storytelling tools, historical records, and markers of cultural identity. In Lisbon, the National Tile Museum offers an expansive look into their evolution. Public buildings, churches, train stations (like São Bento in Porto), and even ordinary homes proudly display panels of azulejos depicting everything from maritime history and religious tales to pastoral life and urban scenes. These tiles serve both aesthetic and functional purposes: they’re durable, easy to clean, and they help regulate temperature in Portugal’s warm climate. Today, azulejos remain a vibrant part of Portuguese heritage, celebrated not just in historic sites but also in contemporary art and design.

I was expecting better. Image looks faded and the houses on the image are near folded underneath. Likely throw this in the bin.

My partner proposed on our first holiday and we ate tonnes of garlic bread. This was a perfect reminder. The magnet is strong and the quality and value for money excellent. Exactly as pictured. Superb.

Excellent all round, the printing is great and the magnet is streamlined, not chunky. The actual magnet is very strong. Very good quality and the price is low. Absolutely fantastic! Crisp, bright, clean.
