The Battle of Vimeiro Interpretation Centre

Located in the countryside where the decisive battle that ended the first French invasion of Portugal was fought, the Battle of Vimeiro Interpretation Centre (CIBV) is a tourist amenity in the municipality of Lourinhã, kitted out with modern features and tools.

The collections in the CIBV are fascinating and guided visits are available that allow visitors to spend as much or as little time as they wish there. Conceived as a not-to-be-missed waypoint for all enthusiasts of the historic period in question, it offers the public three distinct areas with exhibition content, weapons, uniforms, documentation of the period and unique archaeological pieces that deserve the attention of tourists.

If you book in advance, guided visits of the CIBV, educational and other workshops can be scheduled, along with walks and Battle Tours around the areas that conjure up the Battle of Vimeiro.
