Fodor's Expert Review Museu de Olaria de Barcelos

A five-minute walk from the medieval bridge, this amazing museum has a collection comprising more than 9,000 pieces of pottery from various epochs. Many are from excavations from all over the world, particularly from Portuguese-language countries. It all makes for a fascinating showcase of traditional pottery techniques and styles. There are also workshops and a documentation center. If you have trouble finding the place, look for the massive rooster out front.
