Porto: The Blue and White Wonder of the Poco Episcopal

One of the most impressive sights in Porto is the Poco episcopal, or the Episcopal Palace, the official residence of the bishop of Porto.

This 18th century building is a masterpiece of baroque architecture, with elegant rooms, gardens, and fountains. But what will really catch your eyes is the stunning azulejo panel that covers the facade of the palace.

The azulejo panel was added in 1737 and depicts scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary. This azulejo panel is one of the largest and most elaborate in Porto.
