Campo de Ourique Market
The manufacture of the Pastels of Bethlehem began in the 19th century, in Bethlehem, near the Monastery of Jerónimos, there was a refinement of sugarcane associated with a small store. Due to the Liberal Revolution of 1820, all Portuguese convent and monasteries were closed years later and, as a consequence, all workers and clergy were expelled from these same places. In an attempt to survive, an element of the Monastery put on sale, in this small place of commerce, some sweet pastels that quickly became known as “Pastels of Bethlehem” given the area where they were sold and the original recipe was preserved to this day.
