Beja, an Alentejo city with a profound history, hosts the Beja Center for Archaeology and Arts (CAAB). The center is located in the parish of Santiago Maior and São João Baptista, an urban area where the city's millennial heritage is evident. Its location is particularly relevant as it integrates and enhances adjacent archaeological remains, underlining the intrinsic connection of the space to Beja's past.
Inaugurated in 2021, the Beja Center for Archaeology and Arts was designed to establish a unique dialogue between the region's vast archaeological legacy and contemporary art expression. This venue allows Beja's long history to be revisited and interpreted through new artistic approaches. Its fundamental mission lies in valuing the local cultural heritage, while providing a platform for current artistic creation and its interaction with the public.
The CAAB is characterized by a dynamic and constantly evolving exhibition program. The presented exhibitions are temporary in nature and are often the result of collaborations with various entities, ensuring a diverse cultural offering representative of different perspectives. The exhibitions regularly address relevant themes of contemporary society, inviting reflection on identity, social and political issues, and history itself. Furthermore, the center serves as a stimulus for research in the fields of Art History and Archaeology, adopting an important pedagogical aspect in its interaction with the community.
