About the museum
The Centro de Interpretação de Vila do Bispo opened on 3 May 2009 and rehabilitated the former municipal market and slaughterhouse, a complex built at the beginning of the 20th century and known as the “Lota dos Percebes” (Goose Barnacle Fish Market).
It is the seat of the municipal heritage and research services and promotes initiatives to know, conserve and publicise the natural and cultural heritage of the municipality. It addresses biodiversity, geology, palaeontology, archaeology, history and ethnology from the perspective of a “Museu da Paisagem” (Landscape Museum), and it also offers a programme of temporary exhibitions.
