In 1503, Portuguese king Manuel I took a trip around Spain, stopping at the palace and also in Seville, where he saw more of the beautiful tiles. Manuel I decided to then bring this architectural detail back to his home country!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Manuel I decided that the Sintra National Palace should be decorated using <i>azulejos<\/i>. They cover the floors, walls, and ceilings of the palace, and many include the symbol of king Manuel I, the armillary sphere, or, <i>cuenca<\/i> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-fun-facts-about-portuguese-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Portuguese<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Not only were the tiles an incredible sight to see, they also followed a Moorish tradition. The Moors were known to have a \u2018fear of empty places\u2019, or kenophobia. To combat this fear, <i>azulejos<\/i> were used to cover every inch of the walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">At the time of their emergence in Spanish architecture, Spain was controlled by the Moors, who are considered to be some of the earliest followers of the Muslim faith. By Moorish law, humans were prohibited from being represented on the <i>azulejos<\/i> tiles. This is why the earliest <i>azulejos<\/i> are recognizable for their simplicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Italian Influences<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In the 16th century, many Italian potters settled in Portugal and opened workshops there.
