Tile making is still a living tradition
in this region, thanks to the creativity of its
craftsmen and the existence of workshops that keep up
the ancient tradition of tile manufacture. There are
several different places in the district where you can
find hand-painted tiles. In Azeitão there’s a
handicraft shop where people not only sell tiles but
actually make them.
Here, there is a deliberate attempt to recreate an
ancient art that has been rooted in the habits of the
Portuguese since the 16th century. Whoever comes here
learns about the manufacturing process, the time
involved and the patience it takes to make one single
such square, and can also paint (group minimum).
