people found this review helpful

This charming small museum is based on the original collection of Dr Formosinho and consists of various archeological finds, geology, numismatics, local interest items and paintings and a wonderful over the top baroque chapel. Well worth the 2.70 euros admission and can easily be visited in less than an hour. More
