Presentation

Extra Information
Generically known as "Pedra de Ançã", the limestones of Cantanhede have been, for many centuries, an important factor of economic development, allowing the increase of the sculptural activity that made Cantanhede, and its region, in this domain, one of the most important centres of the country.
