Its open design gives your image plenty of room to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePorto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur most elaborate border. Deep cobalt scrollwork, sculptural curves and a richly ornamented inner frame draw on the dramatic Baroque character found throughout Porto.

Braga combines Baroque-inspired curves with an open botanical design, giving it an elegant character without the heavier framing of Porto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade From Your Memories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere isn't one kind of photograph that belongs on an azulejo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt might be your children or grandchildren. A pet who is very much part of the family. The house you grew up in, the home you have built, a wedding photograph, a favorite place, a Portuguese journey, or a photograph of someone whose memory you want to keep close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortugal has long used tile to preserve stories, places and moments in time.
