Founded in the distant nineteenth century, specifically in 1877, the Great Warehouses of Beira began their activity in Rua de Santa Catarina as a store selling fabrics. Today, its doors are open to the public at a different address at Rua de 31 de Janeiro.
In this establishment, with a tradition of over 140 years, you can nowadays buy products of a very different nature from those initially sold in the Department Stores, such as puzzles, postcards, souvenirs and handicrafts of Portuguese production, allowing you a short trip through culture of our country.

Prometeu Artesanato is a chain of stores specialized in handcrafted, hand-crafted handicraft objects with over ten years of experience in the field.
It stands out in the sale of products produced exclusively for its establishments by its authors, being given the customer the possibility to know and watch the whole process of creation.
In the Prometheus Handicraft spaces you can find Alentejo ceramics, tiles, jewelry, iron pieces, wooden images and Barcelos crafts, among many other solutions that are part of the careful selection available in these stores.
