THE QUARRIES
ESTREMOZ
Located next to the village, the quarry in Estremoz produces some of the most appreciated marbles in the whole region. This is where the extraordinary “Branco de Estremoz” white marble, highly crystalline with a fine grain and a deep white tempered with soft and warm hues, comes from. The exuberant Picasso is also extracted from this quarry, with its black veins and red hues.
Covering 60,000m2, this is the Galrão Group’s largest quarry with an average extraction of 3,000m3 per annum.
FONTE DA MOURA
Located in Pardais, in the outskirts of Vila Viçosa and near its monumental Ducal Palace, the Fonte da Moura quarry produces highly crystalline marbles, with fine and medium grain. This is where blocks of the delicate Rosa Aurora, with rosy brown veins are extracted, or the sophisticated Amadeus, with its background in rays of dark and bluish-grey hues.
Covering 30,000m2, this is the quarry where the Galrão Group operates most intensely, with an average extraction of 4,000m3 per annum.
