Arriving Macau - Portuguese influence I

Macau has been a Portuguese colony for centries; so Portuguese influence is naturally evident and readily visible. Even after the handover to China in 1999, Portuguese signs are still visible everywhere.


Not to mention those blue tile street signs that are unmistakably Portuguese.


These ceramic tiles, often hand painted, are used for wall decoration as well throughout Portugal (in Spain as well). They are beautifully done at the Leal Senado building...





Reminds me of those I saw in Queluz Palace.
