Museu Regional de Beja

The museum occupies a 15th-century convent building with a Manueline cloister, baroque church, and rooms decorated with blue and white azulejo tiles.

Founded in 1892 as an archaeological collection at the Town Hall, the museum relocated to the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Conceição in 1927.

The collections span two millennia, featuring Roman artifacts, religious art, paintings, sculptures, and traditional Portuguese ethnographic objects from the Alentejo region.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with adult admission at 2 euros and free entry for children under 14 years old.

The museum houses artifacts from the ancient Roman settlement of Pax Julia, including mosaics, ceramics, coins, and stone sculptures found in local excavations.
