Casa do Tempo is located in the heart of Castanheira de Pera, in the area known as Além da Ribeira. It is integrated into the urban dynamics of the municipality of Castanheira de Pera and Coentral, being easily accessible and an integral part of local life, contributing to its identity.
The building, conceived by architect Paulo Pedroso, stands out for its singular design. It comprises two main spaces, separated by the reception area. The peculiarity of its architecture lies in the elements that, through their lines and forms, suggest the passage of time, with details that evoke both the past and the future, conferring a profound meaning to the name Casa do Tempo.
Inside, one of the rooms hosts a permanent exhibition that invites visitors on a journey through the history of Castanheira de Pera. Through pieces related to the textile industry and copies of the local newspaper O Castanheirense, visitors can understand the community's roots and development. This space explores aspects of the region's typographic and industrial heritage, revealing its traditions and trajectory.
Casa do Tempo is also a vibrant and constantly evolving space. The other room in the building is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, regularly presenting new cultural and educational initiatives. This environment hosts works by different artists, exploring various languages and trends in the fields of painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and other forms of artistic expression, contributing to the cultural vitality of the municipality.
