This museum alongside the church of Santo Antonio, has an interesting archaeological collection (coins, fragments of mosaics) and an ethnographic section devoted to the Algarve (notice the cork frames).

In calm sea the trip takes you past sandstone cliffs and rocks that have been sculpted into strange shapes by the water. You will see 18 of the Algarve's most beautiful marine grottoes (Pontal, Mesquita, Ruazes).

This Church, which was established before the 16C, has a beautiful Manueline door. One of the chapels is completely covered in 18C azulejos, whilst the chapel of Nossa Senhora of Lourdes is decorated with cherished, multi-coloured azulejos in relief from the 16C, in the Seville style.

This museum is set up in a modern building built along the old town wall around a large reservoir tank from the 12C and 13C. The collections retrace the history of this region from the Paleolithic age. Worthy of note are the menhirs and the funerary steles from the Iron Age.
