    What 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.

    Such 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.
