The São Bento Railway Station in Porto, Portugal -- WOW !
Author: MartyBernard

I walked into the São Bento Railway Station one night in Porto, Portugal in December 1994 and I was immediately blown away by the tile work.  There are approximately 20,000 azulejo tiles, dating from 1905–1916.  Here are a few photos to help you understand.

Enjoy,
Marty Bernard
