#4948. Traditional Portuguese facade with vibrant orange-blue window and azulejo elements

The image showcases a vibrant decorative window in the style of traditional Portuguese architecture. The facade is painted in a rich orange color, creating a striking contrast with the bright blue window frames. The window has an elongated rectangular shape divided into twelve equal sections.

The upper part of the window frame is adorned with a characteristic decorative element in the form of a triangular pediment with elegant curves, which is typical for Portuguese architecture. Below the window, there is a richly decorated ceramic element in blue and yellow color scheme with an intricate ornament, executed in the azulejo technique — traditional Portuguese ceramic tile painting.

The composition is complemented by a lush flower box with bright pink and red flowers, creating a picturesque accent and emphasizing the southern, Mediterranean character of the architecture. All elements together form a harmonious, carefully designed facade detail, which is an excellent example of colonial Portuguese stylistics.
