Museu Francisco Tavares Proença Júnior
Situated in the former Episcopal Palace since 1971, it was created in 1910 in the Convent of the Capuchos, by the archaeologist and personality of several interests in science and the arts for whom it bears the name. The original organization was based on the founder's archaeological collection, later reinforced with pieces from the Episcopal Palace and with archeology spoils and the typical embroidered bedspreads. In the temporary exhibitions, works of textile art, sacred art and ethnography stand out.
