The City Museum is located in the 18th century Pimento Palace built by King João V for his mistress, the nun Madre Paula. Set up in 1962 as a museum devoted to the history of the city, which is extensively documented, it contains many interesting exhibits, including a large model of the city before the earthquake of 1755 and engravings of Catherine of Bragança departing Lisbon to marry King Charles II of England. Be sure to visit the fully equipped kitchen of the old palace and admire the ceramic tile pictures.
