Sacred Art Museum

Portugal is known for its beautiful Roman Catholic art, spanning many centuries. The earliest pieces date back to the 15th century and include woodwork, silver and gold artefacts, even furniture with wooden engravings. There is also the occasional painting by a Dutch, French or Flemish artist.
