This baked delicacy from Feira is a type of sweet bread that is traditionally made for the Feast Day of San Sebastian and the Feast of Fogaceiras, one of the most emblematic religious festivals of northern Portugal, which is held every year in January in Santa Maria da Feira. Its shape represents the tower of a castle with four pinnacles, and it is baked daily in various bakeries in the region. It is made from wheat flour, eggs, sugar, butter, yeast, cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon peel. The texture is somewhat denser than bread, while the flavor is delicately sweet and unique.
