Traveler reviews
Timmy's Droneflights
★★★★★9 months agoWhat a amazing museum. Tells a lot about the military history of Portugal. But also the location is more than amazing. Amongst the weapons displayed from ancient to WW1, the rooms are also beautiful. A lot of old painting displaying the history. For a price of 3 euro you can not miss here. Sad to see only us and another family were in the museum. They deserve more public. Lovely staff as well answering questions we asked.

★★★★★3 months agoSuch as amazing "hidden gem" of a museum. only 3 euros to enter (kids free), amazing old military hardware and baroque rooms with painted ceiling, tiled walls, and good wood working trims.
