ROOSTERS

The Ultimate Collection of Authentic Galo de Barcelos

Welcome to the heart of Portuguese tradition. Our Galo de Barcelos (Barcelos Rooster) collection showcases the most iconic symbol of Portugal—a emblem rich with legend and meaning, reimagined for the modern home.

The story begins in the medieval town of Barcelos, where a gallant pilgrim, wrongly accused of a crime, was sentenced to death. As a final plea before the judge, he pointed to a roasted rooster on the judge's table and proclaimed, "It is as certain that I am innocent as it is that this rooster will crow when you hang me!" As the judge laughed and turned away, the roasted rooster miraculously stood up and crowed. The pilgrim was freed, and the rooster became a timeless symbol of faith, justice, and good luck.

Today, each piece in our curated collection carries this powerful legacy. Whether you are drawn to the sleek, contemporary aesthetic of our black roosters or the classic charm of our vibrantly colored versions, you will find the perfect expression of this national symbol here. We offer a diverse range of styles and sizes to suit every taste and space.
