What to Expect

    This is one of the most surprising Industrial Tourism experiences that can be carried out in Portugal. The visit begins at the meeting point with a brief explanation of the geography, geology and history of the sector at the Núcleo Documental do Mármore. The program includes a visit to a quarry to learn about the marble extraction processes, followed by a visit to a sawmill where the marble is transformed for subsequent application. The visits take place in Alentejo, municipalities of Vila Viçosa and Borba, 50 minutes from Évora and 2 hours from Lisbon. During the visit, visitors are provided with a helmet and a vest for mandatory use during the visit and which will be returned at the end.
