In the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, there is a Bertrand Bookstore, founded in 1732, known as “the oldest bookstore in the world” and has 50 branches in Portugal. In 2011, he won the Guinness World Record. In the eyes of today’s Portuguese young people, the oldest bookstore in Europe is also the most popular chain bookstore. The most prominent of the former site of the Bertrand bookstore is the relief of the big characters “FUNDADA EM 1732”, which was the time when the bookstore was established.
