Gouveia

The largest collection of modern art in the region, with seven permanent exhibition rooms and one for temporary exhibitions, an art library, educational services, a reception and a museum shop. This space houses the core of Abel Manta's work, and masters such as Vieira da Silva, Joaquim Rodrigo, Júlio Resende, Júlio Pomar, Menez, Paula Rego.

Built in a dominant position at a height of 933 m above sea ​​level, the castle was built with pink-white quartz stone, which gives it a unique beauty.

The uniqueness of the Serra da Estrela Higher Plateau and its geographical isolation gave rise to a diversity of flora and fauna species, whose value was acknowledged when the Council of Europe assigned it the title of Biogenetic Reservation.
