The Portuguese Centre for Geo-History and Pre-History is located in Golegã, in the São Caetano area. This space occupies the old local primary school, which gives it an environment rooted in the community. The area is an integral part of the town of Golegã, offering a peaceful setting for your visit.
This centre invites an in-depth exploration of the eras that preceded historical records. Through its exhibitions, visitors can follow the evolution of life on the planet, from its most primordial forms to the emergence of complex biological communities.
One of the main focuses is human evolution, tracing its physical progression and technological development throughout the vast periods of pre-history. It is an opportunity to understand how our ancestors lived, adapted, and transformed their environment, from the first tools to the steps that defined our civilizational path.
The Portuguese Centre for Geo-History and Pre-History has a particular setting, being installed in the premises of the old primary school of São Caetano. This choice of location offers an interesting contrast between the building's educational memory and its new function of scientific dissemination.
The fact that it occupies a structure with roots in the local community contributes to an atmosphere that integrates knowledge of the most remote past with the fabric of contemporary life. The adaptation of the building for its current purpose allows for an immersive and pedagogical experience for visitors.
