    Museum of the Portuguese fascist concentration camp. Over 500 political opponents of the Salazar regime were imprisoned here between 1936 and 1974, and 32 people died. While initially it was mainly Portuguese people who were interned, after the start of the colonial wars it was mainly political opponents from Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Angola who were interned.

      Unfortunately, there are or were such things in many countries. Portugal also cruelly tortured political prisoners during its dictatorship.

        It is depressing to learn about the fate of political prisoners. The museum is definitely worth a visit. Entrance fee: 200 CVE.
