We have just learned that Pedra de Ançã, an emblematic Portuguese limestone, has been officially classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This important recognition was recently announced in an old quarry in Cantanhede, Portugal, where the stone originated.
This nomination is the result of multidisciplinary and multinational research carried out last summer in which our colleague Pablo Barreiro actively participated.
To learn more about the importance of this stone in Portuguese history and culture, we invite you to read our previous article: Discovering the sculptural legacy at Pedra de Ançã and to visit this link.
