The Galo de Barcelos (Rooster of Barcelos) became a Portuguese national symbol thanks to João Domingos Côta da Rocha.
Prazeres, his granddaughter, continues the family tradition, and here presents her own interpretation of the Galo de Barcelos, without denying its originality: its flamboyant colors and its always very exaggerated comb.
The works of Prazeres Côta, and those of her mother, Júlia, always evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional icons, and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
What I like
- An unclassifiable work between craftsmanship and naive art.
- A personal interpretation of the Rooster of Barcelos.
- The authentic and unique character of each of these figurines.

Want to know more?
The Côta family is the most charismatic and representative family of figurative art in Barcelos and the Minho region of Northern Portugal.
Prazeres, one of Júlia Côta's daughters, continues the tradition initiated by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).
Already honored as "Revelation of the Year" at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the pottery museum has just included her in a "Geração Côta" exhibition and presents several of her works belonging to the museum's collection and private collections.
