Campo da Feira de Barcelos

The Campo da Feira features a central 17th-century monumental fountain created by artist João Lopes, surrounded by wide open spaces for market stalls.

The marketplace traces its origins to 1412, maintaining its position as one of the oldest continuously operating markets throughout the evolution of Portuguese commerce.

Every Thursday, local artisans present handcrafted ceramics, textiles, and agricultural products, continuing centuries-old trading traditions in northern Portugal.

The fairground occupies a central location in Barcelos with direct access to public transportation and parking facilities for visitors attending the weekly market.

The site received Monument of Public Interest status in September 2012, recognizing its role in preserving traditional Portuguese commerce and craftsmanship.
