Alentejo potteries (São Pedro do Corval, Redondo)

Two Alentejo pottery towns: São Pedro do Corval and Redondo, which has a municipal clay museum.

What we have checked

  • Reguengos de Monsaraz council says the pottery of São Pedro do Corval goes back to prehistoric times thanks to its clay deposits; that is the council’s claim, not an independent finding. Source
  • Redondo’s Museu do Barro opened in 2009 in the Convento de Santo António. Source
