Azul Valverde

The Region Valverde VillageThe Azul Valverde is a well-known grey limestone from Portugal that has been used for many years as a reference grey limestone in the market. The area where the Azul Valverde limestone is extracted is also known for its famous ancestors. We are talking about dinosaurs that populated this area more than 175 millions year ago. Today, evidence of dinosaurs steps can be found in several places throughout this area, where quarrying explorations have been closed in order to give place to cultural and historical heritage sites with footprints of dinosaurs. Located in the Serra D´Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, the Azul Valverde limestone extraction area lies in the district of Alcanede.
