Museums and Palaces

The museum is housed in a 19th-century building, an example of regional architecture built in 1895, in keeping with the project designed by the architect José Teixeira Lopes for use as a residence and sculptor’s studio.

Nowadays, it has been converted into a House Museum, containing some valuable works of art and an important collection of bronze and marble sculptures, as well as some plaster models made by Teixeira Lopes (1866-1942).
