Discover the Granja Nova Bell Foundry Workshop, a historical monument that operated for 400 years, from the 16th century until 1947.
In 2002, it was classified as a Monument of Public Interest due to its cultural and technical importance.
Visit the well-preserved reverberatory furnace, considered the last historical example in Portugal and one of the last in Europe.
Learn how a Spanish founder settled in the region in the 16th century, serving local monasteries and chapels.
In addition to creating new bells, the workshop also recast broken bells, a common practice at the time.
