How about a few more pictures from Seville?

As I’ve mentioned, colorful tiles are everywhere – on the outside of buildings and covering interior walls. As you might imagine, they are of varying ages, styles, and quality. And, this being a very Catholic society, many of the themes are religious in nature.

Some I saw on my visit (and these are by no means the largest or the most elaborate of the tile decorations on buildings!):

a view of Seville

a beautiful framed image, with sconces on either side, on the side of a church

elaborate (old!) tile- and plasterwork on the walls of the 16th-century palace I visited

another framed image on the side of a church

an image celebrating the area's beautiful jacaranda trees

yet another elaborate image on the side of yet another church
