From Indo-Portuguese black guilds to intricate red-japanned four-fold screens, their craftsmanship knows no bounds. In Lisbon's enchanting Palace Square Terreiro do Paco, admire the hand-painted azulejo tiles on the side wall of Santa Luzia church. These vibrant artworks depict scenes that transport you back in time, showcasing Portugal's rich heritage. Catherine of Braganza, depicted in a stunning oil painting from 1660-1661, embodies elegance and grace. Her presence reminds us of Portugal's royal lineage and its influence throughout history. At Batalha Monastery lies The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I—a solemn reminder of Portugal's sacrifices during times of conflict. Pay your respects to these brave souls who fought for their country. Revel in music with Rey Colaco, an exceptional pianist whose talent shines through pastels on cardboard applied to canvas. His melodies echo through time and remind us of Portugal's artistic contributions. King John III stands tall in a 16th-century print—his leadership shaping Portugal during a crucial period. Witness his legacy etched onto paper as he guides his people towards prosperity. The false Sebastian tale unfolds—a mysterious chapter where several individuals claimed to be King Sebastian reappearing after his death. This enigmatic story captivates our imagination and speaks volumes about Portuguese loyalty. The Battle of Alcacer-Quibir captures King Sebastian I captured in Morocco—an event that shaped Portuguese history forever. Reflect on this pivotal moment when bravery clashed with fate amidst sands far from home.
