Casarão de Azulejos, Colonial building in João Pessoa, Brazil.

The Casarão de Azulejos features a complete exterior covered with blue Portuguese tiles arranged in geometric patterns across its two-story structure.

Built in the 19th century, this residence belonged to Commander Antonio dos Santos Coelho before becoming a public building and school in later years.

The building demonstrates the influence of Portuguese architectural elements in Brazilian colonial design through its decorative tile work and structural composition.

Located on Conselheiro Henriques Street in downtown João Pessoa, the building offers guided tours showcasing its architectural and historical elements.

The exterior walls contain tiles manufactured in Porto, Portugal, at the Devezas factory, making it one of the few remaining structures with original Portuguese tiling.
