Barcelos Rooster

Barcelos is a historic town in northern Portugal, famous for the legendary Galo de Barcelos (Rooster of Barcelos) - one of the most recognizable symbols of Portugal. According to folklore, a roasted rooster miraculously rose from a judge's dinner plate to prove an innocent pilgrim's innocence. This colorful ceramic rooster, traditionally decorated with hearts and vibrant patterns, has become an emblem of Portuguese culture, faith, and good luck, found in homes and souvenir shops worldwide.
