The Fairs and Markets of the Town become once again a theme of historical discovery in Torres Vedras, through a free guided tour scheduled for next Saturday, September 5, 2026, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. The initiative departs from the Torres Vedras Tourist Office and proposes a route through the old market areas of the town.
Throughout the visit, the importance and role that these spaces had for centuries in the economic and social life of Torres Vedras will be revealed. The fairs were meeting places and places for the circulation of news, where sellers, farmers and residents from different parishes crossed paths, dynamizing commerce and community daily life.
During the route, the urban transformations associated with commercial activity will also be observed, allowing an understanding of how these spaces evolved and influenced the development of the city over time.
Participation is free, but requires advance registration, with limited capacity of 20 people. Registrations can be made through the phone number 261 320 753 or the e-mail [email protected].
