On its upper floors, you’ll find centuries-old spearheads, coins and glassware, as well as objects uncovered from the medieval cemetery of Fão. Temporary exhibitions are showcased in the ground-floor Sala dos Azulejos.

Perched atop a granite spur overlooking Esposende is Castro de São Lourenço, which preserves the remains of an Iron Age fortified village.
