The Renaissance portal of the Parish Church of Moncarapacho, in the Algarve. This portal was built by André de Pilarte, a famous regional architect that also worked in the Hieronymites Monastery (in Lisbon). Pilarte was the creator of the wonderful portal of the Misericórdia (Charity) Church of Tavira, a temple that ended up influencing many other mid-XVI Century churches of southern Portugal - including this Parish Church of Moncarapacho, one of the best example of what scholars usually call "The Tavira School".

Tiles that I photographed in Moncarapacho, but that can be found in other places of the Algarve (or in Portugal as  whole).

More interesting Portuguese tiles. Found in the village of Moncarapacho.

Portuguese tiles. Once again, from the Algarve. More specifically, from a village called Moncarapacho.

Tiles panels with non-religious themes - all of them from the village of Moncarapacho. The one on the top is my favourite - it shows an old rural Algarve that no longer exists.

Moncarapacho is a village in the interior of the Algarve. Not everything in this place is remarkable, but some windows and balconies certainly are quite interesting.

Five more platibandas from the village of Moncarapacho, Algarve, Portugal. And I like them all.
