Estremoz is a Portuguese city located in the district of Évora, in Alto Alentejo, known as the "marble capital" of Portugal. It is divided into two parts: a medieval upper town, enclosed by walls, with old white houses and an imposing castle (the Castle of Queen Santa Isabel, which houses a Pousada), and a lower town with eighteenth-century fortifications. Estremoz is famous for its white marble quarries, which have made Portugal a major world exporter, and for its traditional terracotta crafts, especially the "puppets" (Bonecos de Estremoz), a UNESCO Intangible Heritage. The city hosts a lively weekly farmers' market.

Marble and the quarries where it is extracted are a strong feature of the landscape of Estremoz. This resource, which has been used since the time of the Roman Empire, reached its peak in Estremoz during the Baroque period, and was used in the construction of palaces, religious monuments, statues, fountains and other buildings. Marble is a dominant feature of the urban landscape, as it is also the material of choice for the construction of traditional Portuguese pavements. The white marble of Estremoz is internationally renowned for its quality and is exported to numerous countries, especially the Middle East and Morocco. Estremoz is proud to have preserved a monumental keep over the centuries, entirely covered in marble. A visit to an active quarry or a stonemasonry workshop is also a popular activity for those who visit us. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
