About the museum
The Museu da Escola Prática de Artilharia is housed in part of the former royal palace of Vendas Novas, a building now occupied by the town's artillery military unit.
The route extends through an outdoor area and eight indoor rooms. The museum documents the development of artillery since the late 19th century and brings together pieces, including some used in the First World War.
Because it is located inside a military garrison, access conditions depend on the military unit, which is the contact point for enquiries.
