  • Beneath Azulejo tiles, travellers and commuters walk through the concourse of Sao Bento railway station, on 20th July, in Porto, Portugal. The name of the station derives from a Benedictine monastery built on this spot in the 16th century. The monastery fell victim of a fire in 1783, was later rebuilt, but was in a grave state of disrepair at the end of the 19th century. The most notable aspect of Sao Bento Station is the tile panels in the vestibule. There are some 20 thousand and date from 1905–1916, the work of Jorge Colaço, the most important azulejo painter of the time. The first tiles were put up on 13 August 1905.
