Museu de Arqueologia & Museu de Ca莽a


Inside the historic castelo looming above Vila Vi莽osa is an intriguing collection of relics, plus some less appealing animal skins and assorted taxidermy. Nevertheless, a visit to these museums is a must 鈥 if only to wander through the castle itself (think 鈥榮ecret鈥 tunnels, giant fireplaces and wonderful vaulted ceilings). The extraordinary (and underpromoted) archaeological collection is housed in the castle鈥檚 many rooms and spans various eras from the Palaeolithic to the Roman. It even has ancient Egyptian treasures.

Portuguese speakers should chat about the collection with the knowledgeable museum minder. The less interesting hunting museum is stuffed with guns and the dukes鈥 animal trophies.
