Certainly one of the most surprising industrial tourism experiences you can have in our country! On this tour, we will explore three key moments in the life of marble: extraction, transformation, and use.

The tour begins in the center of Vila Viçosa, the Portuguese capital of marble. Join our local guides who will introduce you to the world of marble.

At our headquarters, you will receive an introduction to the world of marble, covering geology, geography, and history. Here, you will also gain a clear understanding of the importance of the marble industry to the local community.

Then, on the way to the factory, you will learn why the landscape is so unforgettable and unique, shaped entirely by the opening of marble quarries over the centuries. It’s time to soak up all the beauty of this unique landscape.

Since marble is not ready for use immediately after extraction, you will also visit a factory where the marble will be given its final shape before being used or sent to market for sale.

The Route:

We will visit a marble quarry and a marble factory so that you can learn about the entire process from start to finish.
