The centre for the breeding of horses and bulls, Vila de Franca de Xira has several interesting features. The brightly coloured costumes and other exhibits related to the bull ring can be seen at the Ethnographic Museum in the Praça de Touros. Those interested in horses can watch displays of dressage by thoroughbred Lusitanian horses at the Lezíria Grande equestrian centre (tel. +351 263 285 160) about 3 km to the south. In the town centre there is a covered market with lavishly tiled walls dating from the 1920s and more azulejo tiling can be seen in the Misericórdia church.
