Casa-Museu Ferreira de Castro

This is the former home of writer José Maria Ferreira de Castro (1898-1974), author of books such as "A Selva", which describes the drama of emigrants and the exoticism of the Amazon jungle, and "Volta ao Mundo", a description of his almost two-year journey shortly before the Second World War. This building, dating from the mid-19th century, is now a museum that brings together the writer's books, manuscripts and personal objects, including the shoes and suitcase that accompanied him on this trip around the world.
