Martinlongo Museum Nucleus

Martinlongo Museum Nucleus
At Santa Justa and Barrada, in the parish of Martinlongo, there are two museum sections with different characteristics.

The nucleus of Santa Justa is installed at a former elementary school and thus takes advantage of an interesting testimony of the past by reproducing an old school.

The wood desks, old school books, the ancient blackboard, maps and pointer were part of the school days of the older Portuguese.

The Barrada nucleus, also installed at a former elementary school, now abandonned, explains the county' s birth and how the local community decided the distribution and use of the lands over the ages.

Its context can only be fully understood by also visiting the museum sections at Pereiro, Farelos and Vaqueiros.

The best place to obtain information about this and other of the county' s museum sections is the Casa dos Condes in Alcoutim.
