Product Description
This hand-painted Mexican Tile Mural with Colonial Village captures the warmth and architectural beauty of a traditional hillside town in central Mexico. Featuring a twin-tower church with dark domes and a central clock, the mural depicts ochre-yellow buildings, terracotta roofs, and forest green windows cascading down a sloping street. The cobblestone path and curved street draw the viewer’s eye forward, while lush green mountains rise in the background beneath a softly glowing sunset sky. This scenic mural is ideal for rustic kitchens, garden alcoves, or mission-style interiors where artistry meets cultural heritage.
Handcrafted in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico, this colonial-style Mexican tile mural consists of 35 individually painted Talavera tiles, each 4 inches square. The mural forms a 7-tile-wide by 9-tile-high layout, measuring a full 20 inches wide by 28 inches tall. A cobalt blue floral border frames the composition, adding structure and traditional charm. Explore the beauty of hand-painted Talavera murals and their timeless artistic appeal. Discover more in our Colonial Village Talavera Tile Mural blog.
