- A section of the Chapel of Souls in Porto, Portugal, showcasing its iconic 15,947 blue ceramic tiles (azulejos). The intricate artwork depicts religious scenes, including Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine, framed by ornate decorative designs. The tiles, created by Eduardo Leite in 1929, blend seamlessly with the building's classic architectural style. The scene captures two large windows, a pedestrian walking below, and a traffic light, highlighting the juxtaposition of historic art and modern life. (remote)
