The Filigree Route

Situated in an area of mountainous relief and fertile valleys, the city of Gondomar is famous for the art of working gold, a legacy with centuries of history, resulting from the exploration of mines, earning the title of “Goldsmith Capital”.

Filigree occupies a prominent place among the creations of local goldsmiths, with handcrafted production practiced in small-scale workshops, mostly family-owned, using techniques passed down from generation to generation.
