Tiles and Crafts

The tradition of tiles in the Iberian peninsula is long and dates back to the times of Arab occupation.. Proof of this are the pieces in the palace in Granada (Spain) and in the palace of Sintra (Portugal). With the Christian reconquest, both countries recognized the practical and aesthetic advantages of this ceramic technique and continued its production.. Nowadays, there are still those who work this technique as it would have been done several centuries ago.. The themes and designs can be different, but the technique remains similar.
