Episcopal Palace - Guarda Museum

3 reviews of Episcopal Palace - Guarda Museum

Complete City Museum

Across from the Roçadas Alves park is the former Episcopal Palace and Seminary Guard, now housing the City Museum, the Culture House and the headquarters of the GNR (National Republican Guard). The Episcopal Palace was built by Nuno de Noronha in 1601, and expanded in 1763, as can be read in the many inscriptions on the facade. The building is structured around a double cloister arcade. On the second floor you can see the shield of Bishop Lopo de Sequeira Pereira and an inscription. The Museum[/ b] is very interesting and has two floors. The first floor deals with the region's historical-geographical development, with archaeological pieces and medieval sculptures.
