Convento dos Lóios, Museum and former convent in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal

The Convento dos Lóios stands as a regional museum displaying archaeological findings, historical artifacts, and artistic collections within its restored stone walls.

Founded in the late 15th century by the Order of Saint Augustine, this convent received the Monument of Public Interest classification in 1962.

The museum maintains exhibitions that explain the origins of humanity and the evolution of the Terras de Santa Maria through physical artifacts.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 09:30 to 17:00 and weekends from 14:30 to 17:30, offering guided tours and educational programs.

The building combines elements of Manueline architecture with modern museum facilities, including twenty exhibition rooms displaying religious art collections.
