Warehouses in Celeirós

At the extreme east, on Rua Direita, the main road of the town of Celeirós, there are a number of long warehouses, whose size and equipment bear witness to the dynamism of viticulture and its agro-industrial character. The Parish Records of 1758 describe Celeirós as a small town, “united and well-paved with many noble houses” (CAPELA Et. Al., 2006: 417). Celeirós’ location on the edge of the plateau contributes to its urban quality, evident in the public spaces and the roads of houses (manor houses and homes of several typologies and design), revealing of the social diversity viticulture has provided.
