Behind a gate with marble columns lies a beautiful, two - floor cloister with a plethora of
azulejos and in the center a - what
do you expect - marble fountain.
From unearthed artistic
azulejos (Portuguese decorative tiles) to a mountain - wool industry resurrected from the dead, contemporary Lisbon design is experiencing an inward - driven renaissance, resulting in a slew of new shopping surprises like A Vida Portuguesa, Loja
do Burel, and Embaixaida, a one - stop shopping experience that's quintessentially Portuguese.
