Founded in 1927, the Rainha D. Leonor (Queen Leonor) Regional Museum is located in both the Convento of Conceição and the Church of Santo Amaro, where the Visigoth exhibits are on display. The Roman room features pieces found locally that date back to time of Julius Cesar and medieval epigraphy and heraldry. On the second floor there is the collection that covers the entire span of history from the Bronze Age through to modern times. There are numerous priceless pieces including Lettres Portugaises, five love letters, published in France in 1669, an important work of 17th century Portuguese literature.
