In the main room there is a small photo library with photographs of Gouveia from the 1930s and 1940s by João Carvalho and César Nogueira.

Gouveia is characterized by its traditional neighborhoods, full of history and tradition. We recommend a walk through Bairro do Castelo, considered the birthplace of Gouveia, Bairro da Biqueira, where the Jewish community lived in the 14th century, Bairro do Toural, with its Manueline houses, and Bairro do Outeiro, where you can see the Chapel of São Miguel and its cross.

The interior is collapsed, in very bad condition.
