5/55/55/55/55/5 Nice antique coins in the city center

By pietr on March 26, 2019

In an interesting and touristic spot, you may find out this former Palace.
Free entrance - turn right - and if you visit Porto, I totally recommend.
Lack of information on coins and notably a old-fashion stuck exhibition\museum of ancient coins, but anyway worths a visit.

4/54/54/54/54/5 Nice exhibition

Very nice exhibition of Portuguese coins starting with Antiquity and finisihing with the Euro. Could do with a little more individual cataloging, but overall a good place to spend an hour looking at coins.

Today it is the city's cultural directorate. It has very little of a museum, they are officials' offices. But the rooms have a particular charm
