Casa dos Bicos, Historical museum in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal
The Casa dos Bicos features a facade covered in 1498 diamond-shaped stones across four floors of Renaissance and Manueline architectural elements.
Built between 1521 and 1523 under Afonso de Albuquerque's direction, the building withstood the 1755 earthquake that destroyed much of Lisbon.
The building houses both the Museum of Lisbon's archaeological collection and the José Saramago Foundation, displaying artifacts from Roman times through modern periods.
Located at Rua dos Bacalhoeiros 10, the museum opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, except Saturdays, with last entry at 5:30 PM.
Archaeological excavations revealed ancient fish processing tanks beneath the building, indicating industrial activities from previous centuries in this location.
