Fábrica de Cerâmica das Devesas, Ceramic factory in Santa Marinha e São Pedro da Afurada, Portugal
The Fábrica de Cerâmica das Devesas factory complex includes manufacturing facilities for ceramics, iron foundry, and marble production near Devesas Railway Station.
Founded in the 1860s by António Almeida da Costa and José Joaquim Teixeira Lopes, the factory led Portuguese architectural ceramics production until 1915.
The factory produced facade tiles, statues, and decorative elements that influenced the architectural style of Portuguese buildings during the 19th century.
The factory maintained a branch near Pampilhosa do Botão Railway Station, manufacturing construction materials for regional distribution throughout Portugal.
After 1915, the factory shifted from producing artistic works to basic construction materials before permanently closing in the 1980s.
