2018 - Mexico - Puebla - Typical Puebla Talavera - 1 of 2

Now for two examples of Puebla's emblematic use of talavera tile on building facades. A significant use of the ceramic decorates inside and outside of buildings in Mexico, especially in the city of Puebla. The tiles are called azulejos and are found on fountains, patios, the facades of homes, churches and other buildings, forming an important part of Puebla’s Baroque architecture. The use of azulejo tile attested to the family’s or church’s wealth. This led to a saying “to never be able to build a house with tiles”, meant to not amount to anything in life.
