Museo Etnográfico Casa de las Azores

The Ethnographic House of the Azores is a museum housed in an 18th-century building located near Florianópolis. It displays furniture, clothing, and personal items that tell the story of Azorean settlers in this region.

The building was constructed in the first half of the 18th century as a private residence. It later transformed into a museum to preserve the heritage of Azorean immigrants who settled in the region.

The museum displays the way Azorean settlers lived on the island, showing how they adapted to local life. The exhibited handicrafts and traditional garments reflect the customs this community passed down through generations.

The museum sits along a main road and is open Tuesday through Sunday with a midday break. Entry is free, and the rooms are easy to navigate, even if you have limited time.

The museum is part of a larger complex that includes a church, an old aqueduct, and a historic farm. Visitors can explore these connected structures to gain a fuller picture of how early settlers lived.
