Also need to visit is the “Military Museum” located in the “Quartel do Casarão”». The name of the barracks was placed in memory of a large building that Cosmander, a Dutch Jesuit, had demolished in the 17th century. In the museum you can find all kind of things related and used by the military of Portugal. Those things are placed as well on the inside and on the outside. It will take some time to visit the complete museum, but it is worth every step. Certainly for people who love the military stuff.
