A vividly painted, oversized Galo de Barcelos sculpture in Largo Dr. José Novais — an iconic Portuguese folk symbol with bold colors and graphic shapes.

Best light is morning and late afternoon for warm side light; blue hour works for vivid color contrast. Easily accessible on foot from central Barcelos; no entry fee. Weekdays and off
