SOTELHA: since 1970

HISTORY, TRADITION AND CULTURE

It is with great pride that we integrate one of the most traditional economic sectors in Portuguese history and culture. Since pre-historical times the Humans tried to find strong resisting coverings for their shelters, protecting them from weather exposure. 

Although tree leaves and branches were first used to serve as protection when the result of the combination of fire with clay’s properties ceramic roof tile was discovered providing houses a much more resisting and durable material that is also aesthetically valued. 


The intensive use of this material covered Southern Europe’s houses in a joyful color and as matter of fact, the use of ceramic roof tiles has recently become more relevant in other regions such as Northern Europe and Africa where other materials were traditionally used.

WE CELEBRATE CERAMICA SOTELHA's 48 BIRTHDAY

Ceramic industry occupies a significant place in the Portuguese economy and the production of these artifacts is a very important part of national history and culture.
