In the County of Évora, the town of Reguengos de Monsaraz stands out, whose magnificent setting on the Alentejo plain and in the blue waters of the Alqueva reservoir make it a tourist destination of reference in the region. Bordered by the Counties of Redondo and Alandroal to the north, Mourão to the east, Moura and Portel to the south and Évora to the west, the town of Reguengos de Monsaraz is located in a predominantly agricultural region.
In addition to a rich historical heritage and a striking landscape, the County holds a strong identity characterized by traditional customs and practices, which are reflected in the cuisine, wines, and arts and crafts, most notably in São Pedro do Corval, Portugal’s largest pottery centre.
The foundation of Casa do Barro – Pottery Interpretative Centre (2015) – Municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, aims to promote the pottery of São Pedro do Corval, ensuring its sustainability, and preserving an important part of the culture and the history of the County.
The project promotes its people and traditions, providing active visitor experiences, based on knowledge and learning about pottery and clay.
