An interesting thing about Cuenca’s historic center is the ceramic street signs. Apparently they’re not all that old; they were put up in the 1990s. One person posting on Facebook said they are the work of famed ceramic artist Eduardo Vega. I’m not entirely sure that this is accurate, though; they don’t look to me like the style Vega uses in his art.
At any rate, they’re pretty cool looking signs. Unfortunately, not all street corners have signs; since these are put up on the sides of buildings, presumably the city needs permission from the building owners to put them up.
Outside of the historic center, the signs are a lot more pedestrian, but many still use ceramic tiles.
