What people say
Laura Dehelean
"Casa das Velas do Loreto is a family-run shop with an exceptionally long tradition of candle making behind it. The ancestors of the current owners opened the store more than two hundred years ago. Candles will run you anywhere from 18 EUR and up. Many people come in for the joke candles, but the store also has some exceedingly elegant candles for sale. Most are free standing, but some come in glass containers or need to be put in a candleholder. For quality work, and a bit of history and fun, you really can’t beat Casa das Velas do Loreto."

"Operating since 1789 and considered among the world's oldest candle shops, the family-owned store is worth a visit if only to experience the living history of candle-making."
