The
Municipal Museum of Aljezur is located in the old building of the
Municipality of Aljezur, built in the 19th century.
This
museum is divided into three distinct spaces; The Archaeological
Nucleus, the Ethnographic Nucleus and the Islamic Room.
The
Archeology Center presents a vast set of objects that testify to more
than 10,000 years of human presence in the region, which includes the
archaeological collection of Mirense (end of the Glacial Age - 7000
years BC), Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic (3000-2500 years BC. ) and
Bronze Age (1200-900/800 BC).
The
Ethnographic Nucleus presents a valuable collection of everyday life
from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th
century, related to agricultural, livestock and fishing activities
typical of sea and land life. It also recreates some of the
traditional rural environments of the region.
The Islamic Room (Sala do Legado Andalusino) includes a collection from
the Islamic period, from various archaeological sites in the
municipality of Aljezur.
Well
worth a visit!
