Palácio dos Condes da Guarda, Cascais, Municipal museum in Cascais, Portugal
The Museu da Vila houses exhibits spanning from Neolithic times to modern history within the Palácio dos Condes da Guarda building in central Cascais.
The palace transformed into a public museum in 1931 following substantial artifact donations from Count Castro de Guimarães, who acquired the property in 1910.
The museum features an authentic mid-twentieth-century grocery store that now functions as the museum shop, maintaining original architectural elements.
Located at Paços do Concelho Praça 5 de Outubro in Cascais, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Interactive multimedia displays allow visitors to photograph themselves in 1900 settings and explore World War II through digital information panels.
