Museums and Palaces

Inaugurated on the 30th of July 2010 and located on one of the slopes where the Douro and the Côa rivers meet, the Côa Museum uses state-of-the-art technology to present a view of the Côa Valley's cave art, particularly from the Palaeolithic era (+/- 25,000 to 12,000 years ago).

The museum is one of the facilities belonging to the Vale do Côa Archaeological Park. Guided tours in all-road vehicles and accompanied by specialised guides are available to three different palaeolithic art sites. Tours must be booked in advance. The museum also offers experimental archaeology workshops and other Educational Services activities, also by appointment.
