Portuguese Colonial Architecture refers to the architectural style developed during the period of Portuguese exploration and colonization from the 15th to the 20th centuries. This style is characterized by a blend of Moorish, Renaissance, and local influences, resulting in unique structures that often feature intricate tile work, arched doorways, and ornate facades. The architecture can be seen in various regions, including Brazil, Goa in India, and Mozambique. Notable examples include the São Paulo Cathedral in Brazil and the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, showcasing the enduring legacy of Portuguese design and its adaptation to local cultures.
