The Museum of Archaeology and Numismatics of Vila Real is located in a central area of the city. It is integrated into the urban area known as Cabo da Vila, a historic and well-established part of the urban fabric.
Being located in this area makes the museum an accessible landmark for those exploring Vila Real's city center on foot.
This cultural space offers a glimpse into the long history of the Vila Real territory and its surroundings. Through an archaeological collection, it is possible to discover testimonies of the communities that inhabited this area in ancient times.
The exhibited pieces help to understand the way of life, customs, and evolution of populations over different periods, revealing the layers of the past that shaped the region.
In addition to the archaeological aspect, the museum has a section dedicated to numismatics. This collection allows for the exploration of history through coins and other forms of money that circulated in the region over the centuries.
Observing these pieces is a way to understand economic relations, trade, and even the figures of power that governed in different eras, as many coins are authentic historical documents in metal.
By bringing together archaeology and numismatics, the museum provides an integrated perspective on the historical and social development of Vila Real.
It is a place designed for those curious about the origins and cultural heritage of the city and its regional context, offering a journey of discovery through objects that tell history.
