One of the most beautiful cathedrals that I have visited (I have seen quite a lot !). Intimist, well preserved and with an historical treasure which is unique!

The Museum of Lamego is installed in the ancient Episcopal Palace, whose reconstruction is due to D. Manuel de Vasconcelos Pereira, the Bishop of Lamego between 1773 and 1786. Founded in 1917, after de 1910 Revolution (Republic), its collection, which its major characteristic is the eclectism, is continuously enriched by new donations. At present and in permanent exhibition, it has sections of painting, tapestry and paraments, sculpture, gold-craftmanship, ceramics, ornamental tiles, arheology, chapels, vehicles and furniture. Among the colection there are 18 pieces classified as National Threasures. Flamish tapestries and Vasco Fernandes's paintings, both from 16th century, assume the role of the museum's ex-libris.

We were advised to visit Lamego by our host Margarida at Casa de Romezal in Peso De Regua - it isn't far, and the views of the Douro and vines on th way are excellent - we wanted to visit the Cathedral but were told it was closed due to a robbery, so we came here instead - excellent museum, well presented, and well worth a visit - some beautiful relics, tiles, paintings and some incredible 16th century Flemish tapestries depicting scenes from Sophocles Oedipus

It's a small archeological museum focused on a fascinating individual, José Coelho. The collection is captivating, the exhibit interesting and the building is a show. Of its own - delightful. Totally worth the visit, also because the staff is super nice.

Hidden away in an abandoned quarry this place was a real surprise. I think we surprised them too - they seemed to be caught out by actual visitors turning up. As with much of this part of Portugal, very few staff spoke English but that didn't stop them making us feel very welcome as they looked after us, the only visitors that afternoon. All the information boards are in Portugese only but they have a supply of booklets with the English which kept the family (including a teenager doing GCSE geology) informed while I got to practice my pidgin Portugese. So much more than I was expecting. Neat, clean, well laid out and very interesting.

The Counts of Anadia Palace is a extraordinary building from the 18th century. This majestic Palace lies on a unique landscape setting in Mangualde, Viseu District. Keeping its originality and its history, it will take us on a tour telling us about extraordinary men and women. The Palace, Garden and Historical Forest visit takes us through its uses and daily life, taste and fashion, exuberance and refinement, reflecting its owners and their times.
