Torres Vedras’ municipal museum is in the Convento da Graça and is brimming with artefacts unearthed at the local archaeological sites.

There’s a prehistoric settlement a few moments to the west, yielding tools and ceramics, while models of the copper smelting furnaces have been constructed.

There are also Roman inscribed stones, mosaics and jewellery from the castle and local villas.

And if you’re curious about the Napoleonic era there’s a big display on the Lines of Torres Vedras and the Peninsular War, with guns, swords, uniforms, models and tableaux.
