Museu de Mértola - Forja do Ferreiro
The blacksmith's Forge, inaugurated in June 2001, corresponds to the musealization of an ancient workshop of farrier and blacksmith. It is a small workshop set up in the vicinity of one of the gates of the village. The forge ended its activity when its owner, died in the mid-eighties of the 20th century, and was subsequently acquired by the local authority. In this museum you can see a small part of the estate representative of this artisan activity.
