The Archaeology Museum is located in Sesimbra, in the municipality of the same name, within the Setúbal district. This cultural space is specifically situated in the Corredoura area, an area that offers a more secluded and traditional perspective of the village.
Its position in Sesimbra's urban fabric, slightly set back from the busier coastline, invites a peaceful exploration of its heritage. The surroundings allow visitors to appreciate the local architecture and experience the characteristic atmosphere of a village with deep historical and cultural roots.
As a museum dedicated to archaeology, this site houses a collection that offers an in-depth look at the long history of human occupation in the Sesimbra region and its surroundings. The exhibitions showcase vestiges covering various eras, from the most remote periods, with prehistoric pieces revealing the first communities to inhabit these lands, to artifacts bearing witness to the Roman presence and activities developed along the coast.
Through the display of pieces such as ceramics, tools, and other everyday objects, the museum illuminates the evolution of the societies that shaped the local landscape and culture over millennia. The exhibition path allows visitors to understand the successive social, economic, and cultural transformations that marked the Setúbal peninsula.
The Archaeology Museum stands as a fundamental pillar for understanding Sesimbra's past, offering a window into the community's roots and how life developed along this coastal strip. It is a center of memory and discovery, where it is possible to trace the timeline of human presence in the region, understanding how the natural environment influenced the development of populations and their ways of life.
The existence of this museum underscores the archaeological richness of the territory and the importance of preserving and disseminating this legacy. It contributes significantly to the valorization of local heritage, enriching the cultural experience of those seeking to deepen their knowledge of Sesimbra's history and identity.
