The António Bentes Cultural Centre is located in the former home of a wealthy muleteer who grew rich in the cork trade, this building is a good example of 19th century architecture. Built under the Arabian style, the Culture House is composed of 16 rooms. In addition to an exhibition of typical Algarvean costume worn in the 19th/20th centuries, there is also a collection of popular religious sculpture. The farm buildings contain old vehicles, ranging from carriages and buggies of the rich to mule carts and ox drawn wagons used by farm labourers.
