A coleção de faiança do Museu de Artes Decorativas de Viana é considerada uma das mais significativas no território português. Esta obra de arte reflete o impulso reformista da segunda metade do século XVIII, cujo ênfase na indústria cerâmica resultou num incremento na produção e numa criação de centros fabris especializados em faiança em diferentes localidades.

Os espaços do andar nobre, situados diante do largo de S. Domingos, são repletos de alizares de azulejos do século XVIII produzidos na cidade de Lisboa, dedicados à artista Valentim de Almeida. Estes azulejos retratam quatro continentes, cenários de caça e jardins, exemplificando a riqueza e diversidade deste tipo de arte decorativa.

No entanto, não se esqueçamos da capela interna, que também foi revestida com azulejos históricos, desta vez assinados pelo pintor Policarpo de Oliveira Bernardes (1695-1778). Este artista, conhecido por sua habilidade em retratar temas bíblicos, deixou um legado único neste espaço religioso, proporcionando aos visitantes uma visão única dos detalhes e nuances deste patrimônio cultural.
