[Breathtaking view] The beautiful contrast of blue and white at the Almas Cathedral in the world heritage city of Porto ⛪🩵🇵🇹

Introducing tourist spots in Porto, my favorite country, Portugal! By the way, Porto is a city that is a World Heritage Site 😌 Today, I would like to introduce the Cathedral of Almas, which is also famous as a photogenic spot ⛪️The exterior walls of the Cathedral of Almas are made of more than 15,000 azulejos 👀 You will definitely be overwhelmed by their beauty! A must-see! The beautiful azulejos on the exterior walls matched the clear blue sky and were very beautiful 🩵 Azulejos are typical glazed and fired tiles produced in Portugal and Spain! In Portugal, azulejos are especially famous for their beautiful contrast of blue and white✨ Comments💬𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸There are buildings made of azulejos all over the city of Porto, but when I went there in September 2023, many of the famous spots were covered with something like gauze, and this was the place where you could see the clear, beautiful blue most clearly! ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈📸Photo Spots┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈The side of the building has more azulejos all the way down to the floor than the front, so it's recommended to take a photo from the side✨However, there are constant cars driving on the road next to the side, so you need to aim for the right shutter chance👀 ex.) The first photo is from the side, and the second is from the front🙆♀️ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈Tips for Solo Travelers✈️┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈The security is good and there are many tourists, so you can ask others to take your photo for you, but it may be a bit difficult with so many people and cars! If you are going to take photos with a tripod, it is recommended to aim for a time when there are few people and cars✨ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⛪️ About the inside of the church┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈It is famous as a tourist spot, but it is a church where locals come to pray, so please be careful not to disturb them when looking around or taking photos inside! The interior is also covered with azulejos, which are very beautiful❤️You can enter for free😌 Spot information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Basilica of Almas 🗺Address: R. de Santa Catarina 428, 4000-124 Porto, Portugal💵Budget: Free #overseastravel #solotravel #besttrip2023 #Portugal #Porto #Europetrip #azulejos #touristspot #photogenicspot
