Praça 16, or Praça as fondly put by friends, is more than just a bar. We present ourselves as a new venue that stems from the will to boost the historical centre of Bragança, personifying a maelstrom of culture, art and animation at the heart of Praça da Sé - 16. Walls draped in stories, smiles and whispers, which once welcomed iconic Bragança's nightlife reference spots such as El Dorado or Klaustrus, now have a retro and kitsch aesthetic which seek to provide a casual, urban and relaxed environment. The monthly events at Praça 16 will reflect its eclectic, hybrid and transversal ethos. Featuring concerts and DJ sets ranging from Jazz to Rock or World Music, to the forefront of Electronic, exhibitions, live performances, films, talks and other initiatives that push forward the idea from the project genesis: create a fun space that yields the exploration and integration of different artistic expressions and respond to the wishes and desires of a heterogeneous audience. While listening to a vinyl record at Praça, you can enjoy, rooting from a cool laid-back chat, several drinks from our diversified offer, including quality references such as gin, whisky, Portuguese wines, champagne sangria and classic cocktails like Margarita or Alexander.

Old church. XVI century. It is very interesting to see how local people worship this tiny "Little Jesus in a top hat"

The treacherously steep climb up the rough and uneven stone stairway to the museum's doorway in the side of the tall tower inside the castle's inner walls is well worth he effort for those interested in the collection of weapons and armor from medieval times to World War II. Everything from the era of swords, steel helmets and chain mail to cannons from both Napoleonic invaders and the times of Ernest Hemingway. The history of so many defenders of this peaceful rural countryside and magnificent hilltop walled city are preserved here.

O Museu da Terra de Miranda é um museu etnográfico situado na cidade de Miranda do Douro. O Museu está situado no centro histórico, e encontra-se instalado na antiga “Domus Municipalis” da cidade, edifício setecentista datado do séc. XVII. O edifício museológico, que se estende ao longo da rua Mouzinho de Albuquerque, deixa transparecer, através da sua estrutura, memórias que nos transportam para a prática e história do seu funcionamento, onde se desempenharam, igualmente, funções de Cadeia Municipal até ao ano de 1790. O edifício recebe, desde o ano de 1982, as coleções etnográficas e arqueológicas cuja narrativa expositiva pretende representar a vida social, cultural, religiosa e económica das comunidades da Terra de Miranda.

Tucked away in the corner of a square in the older part of town this small museum is packed with artefacts of local Portuguese life. The staff are very friendly, we communicated quite well despite language problems.
