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.
