The Casa das Velas do Loreto is a special shopping centre in the city of Lisbon. It specializes in candles and that fascinates many tourists and onlookers because there they can find thousands of types of candles and other products related to paraffin.
Going through the city of Lisbon and not visiting this candle market is a shame because the room offers the clients a warm, aromatized and colourful atmosphere, to walk through and feel good buying a cheap souvenir to take hom.
In Casa das Velas do Loreto one can find candles of all sizes, shapes and colours. From the joke candles to give to single friends to candles that have a special energy inside them and that their burning means something special.
But the most beautiful part of it all is that this shop is typical of the city because it was open in 1789 and, since then, it has belonged to the same family that with love and work keep the business. The artisanal candles are the most sought after and they take all the flashes of the cameras. Artisans of the area and of other countries sell their candles here.
If you´re in the city, get Lisbon accommodation and visit the Casa das Velas do Loreto to spend a lovely afternoon full of new aromas and colours.
