Museums and Palaces

The collection of the D. Diogo de Sousa Regional Museum includes archaeological finds from across the Braga region. The collection covers vast chronological and cultural periods stretching from the Palaeolithic through to the Middle Ages.

The Roman pieces are particularly impressive including tombstones and articles revealing the daily lives of people from Bracara Augusta to Rome. There is also a highly rated medieval burial section.

The museum was named in honour of archbishop Diogo de Sousa and his work after taking office in 1512 towards expanding and improving the city and its infrastructures.
