O azulejo” (“The Tile”) is a street art mural in Porto created by the artist Nuno Palhas, who works under the name Third Rua. The mural was commissioned by Porto’s Urban Art Programme and was part of the city’s effort to make art visible in public spaces, not just inside museums.

Located at the Santos Pousada Electrical Transformation Station in Porto, the mural transforms a once-common wall into a work of art. This street artwork draws inspiration from three key elements: cats, camellias, and traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles. These motifs reflect the area’s environment and culture.
