How is this, characteristic for Spain and Portugal, ceramic tilework called?
azulejo
tessera
placa
arabesque
Azulejos are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations. They were not only used as an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control in homes.
