This rooster is gaudy and colorful, multifaceted in size and shapes, a testament to Portugal's cultural differences and ethnographic variety, but one as a nation with a history and cultural heritage of the most significant in Europe.
This icon comes from the interesting popular legend that transports Barcelos back to medieval times, and which tells the epic of a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela, who was miraculously saved from the gallows, thanks to Santiago, when the crowing of a rooster was heard by Amazing way.
It is with more conviction that, from the 50s and 60s, the Galo de Barcelos became a symbol of national tourism and an icon of identity of the Portuguese nation.
The pottery and figurines in Barcelos start to use the European Union trademark registration, a certification obtained through the EUIPO-Intellectual Property Institute of the European Union.
