The interesting Museu da Terra de Miranda is housed in the 17th century building which used to be the town hall and had also seen use as a prison. Its collection is a very varied display of archaeological and ethnographical items of the Douro and Trás-os-Montes region, with particular emphasis on the Miranda area. There is a reconstruction of a Mirandês farmhouse and many unusual items, including an inflated pig’s-bladder cosh and ritual masks. The weaving tradition of the area is also represented, with tools and equipment, linen and woollen items and folk costumes.
