Location

The Museum Centre of the Sanctuary of Senhor Jesus da Pedra is located in Óbidos, adjacent to the Sanctuary itself, which gives it its name. It is situated in a more open area, outside the perimeter of the ancient walls, but still a short distance from the historic centre of the town. Its location is easily accessible for visitors, offering a point of interest right at the entrance to the more central area.

The Exhibited Collection

The Museum Centre brings together a collection of pieces and artefacts that tell the story of the Sanctuary and the devotion to Senhor Jesus da Pedra. The collection ranges from sacred art elements, such as paintings and sculptures, to objects related to liturgy and worship, such as vestments. The exhibition offers insight into the artistic and material wealth accumulated over the centuries, reflecting the faith and offerings of the devotees.

Memory and Devotion

Beyond the contemplation of the pieces themselves, the museum centre serves as a guardian of the memory of the Sanctuary of Senhor Jesus da Pedra and the profound devotion surrounding it. The various collections of objects are not merely art or historical artefacts; they are tangible testimonies to the faith of past generations and the cultural and religious importance that the cult of Senhor Jesus da Pedra has had and still holds in the region. It is a place that allows visitors to feel the spiritual and communal dimension associated with this Sanctuary.
