Castelo Branco Museums Tour
At the appointed time we'll meet at Avenida Nuno Álvares to start this walking tour of museums in Castelo Branco. Ready to learn about its history and main monuments? During the tour, we'll explore all the charms of this Portuguese city.
Strolling through the capital of the ancient region of Beira Baixa, we'll see what's left standing of the Templar walls, the façades of the Igreja da Misericórdia, or the 'Church of Mercy,' as well as the Cathedral and manor houses belonging to families of great historical relevance.
Afterward, we'll head to the Cargaleiro Museum, where we'll see ceramics and paintings by Portuguese artist Manuel Cargaleiro and other contemporary figures. Near this exhibition, we'll also visit the Castelo Branco embroidery interpretation center, where we'll learn more about one of the most deeply rooted traditional activities of this town.
We'll then stroll through Parque Da Cidade and enter the Jardim do Paço, one of the best examples of Baroque art in Portugal with fabulous fountains and sculptures. You'll love its fountains and sculptures.
Finally, after 3.5 hours of sightseeing, we'll finish the tour of Castelo Branco at the starting point.
