More modern times
During the last couple of centuries, the use of Azulejos exploded. Today, it is
common to see them decorating churches, monasteries, restaurants, bars,
railway and subway stations, palaces, and regular homes. They are also used
extensively in interior decoration

Today, Azulejos are a dominant feature in every Portuguese city and can be
seen in the villages as well. In addition to public buildings and private homes,
they are used as street signs, to decorate public benches, and along beach
walls.
