Museu Monográfico do Bárrio

The Roman villa of Parreitas is a perfect testimony of the Roman occupation of Bárrio which took place between the centuries I and IV, already humanized from the Chalcolithic site, with an architecture adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the region and prepared around a central courtyard. Based on what was found there, the permanent exhibition "the Romans in Alcobaça" Monographic Museum of Bárrio aims to disclose the origins of its people, showing a set of materials that reflect the daily life of the population at the time, in terms of agriculture and animal husbandry, domestic activities, fishing, pottery, weaving and metallurgy, booty that reveals that the local economy was also quite active commercially.
