Subway and bridges full of beautiful artworks of azulejos

Visiting Azulejo museum got me thinking about all the azulejos around me.
Inside it I saw a film about azulejos.




And it struck me how deeply Portuguese cherish their tradition
and how smartly they use azulejos to decorate the subway stations and bridges.

Each metro station and each bridge has something different to offer.
It's like the past meeting the present.
At the Oriente station, you can see not only azulejos but also artworks by people from various nations as the place is known for its EXPO.
Aregntina artist Antonio Segui's work

Austria artist Hundertwasser's artwork 

Portugal artist Joaquim Rodrigo's artwork 

Each metro station shows off beautiful and meaningful azulejos.
So next time when you pass through any metro station,
pay a little attention to the details.
Then you will have more fun than expected.
