Opened in 1993, the Regional and Iron Museum is currently located in the Solar do Barão de Palme, a 16th century manor house, which was formerly the headquarters of the Republican National Guard. The idea of a museum to house local archaeological finds goes back to the 19th century, but was only realised in 1984. When the Ferrominas Company, one of the founders, was dissolved in 1986 the collection was given to the Moncorvo Municipal Council. The new museum now displays the previous items, documents collected over the years and other exhibits related to the ethnography and history of the area.
