The “Bordado” from Castelo Branco has characteristics that make it unique and distinct among Portuguese embroidery: the motifs have an aesthetic that corresponds to a visual grammar of its own. The intensity of the colors and the light is provided by the silk threads, embroidered on a raw handmade linen base, with its own symbology: the Tree of Life, birds, carnations, roses, lilies, pomegranates or hearts. A historical and cultural legacy of the region of unique value.
