Abstract

The research devoted to the study of quarries (extinct and active) and its relation with the historical-artistic heritage has been scarce in Portugal, noting the absence of a program that, at a national scale, identifies and promotes its social, economic and patrimonial potentialities. The current project based on interdisciplinary principles, and practices, aims to highlight the importance of the marbles from Alentejo Anticline in a context of patrimonial and cultural valorisation, in a region where the ornamental rock industry defines landscapes, shapes the economy, and establishes ways of life. The knowledge reached from scientific research, disseminated through several platforms and intended for various audiences, will contribute to regional development, providing solid contents for an industrial and cultural tourism, attractive, sustainable, and with quality.
