One of the most beautiful cathedrals that I have visited (I have seen quite a lot !). Intimist, well preserved and with an historical treasure which is unique!

The Museum of Lamego is installed in the ancient Episcopal Palace, whose reconstruction is due to D. Manuel de Vasconcelos Pereira, the Bishop of Lamego between 1773 and 1786. Founded in 1917, after de 1910 Revolution (Republic), its collection, which its major characteristic is the eclectism, is continuously enriched by new donations. At present and in permanent exhibition, it has sections of painting, tapestry and paraments, sculpture, gold-craftmanship, ceramics, ornamental tiles, arheology, chapels, vehicles and furniture. Among the colection there are 18 pieces classified as National Threasures. Flamish tapestries and Vasco Fernandes's paintings, both from 16th century, assume the role of the museum's ex-libris.
We were advised to visit Lamego by our host Margarida at Casa de Romezal in Peso De Regua - it isn't far, and the views of the Douro and vines on th way are excellent - we wanted to visit the Cathedral but were told it was closed due to a robbery, so we came here instead - excellent museum, well presented, and well worth a visit - some beautiful relics, tiles, paintings and some incredible 16th century Flemish tapestries depicting scenes from Sophocles Oedipus

The Counts of Anadia Palace is a extraordinary building from the 18th century. This majestic Palace lies on a unique landscape setting in Mangualde, Viseu District. Keeping its originality and its history, it will take us on a tour telling us about extraordinary men and women. The Palace, Garden and Historical Forest visit takes us through its uses and daily life, taste and fashion, exuberance and refinement, reflecting its owners and their times.
Very interesting place with a lovely guide! Bernardo showed us the place with diligence and a smile.
