Set in a restored 18th-century bishop's palace, the Museu do Abade de Baçal is one of
Portugal's best regional museums. Its diverse collections include local artefacts from the
Celtic and Roman eras, along with objects, paintings and photographs depicting daily life
in Trás-os-Montes to the present.
Of particular interest are the handful of Iron Age stone pigs called berrões . The mu-
seum also features works by Portuguese naturalist painter Aurelia de Sousa and her con-
temporaries, as well as Christian pieces from India, which depict Jesus in a style highly
influenced by Hindu and Buddhist art.
