Hunting and Fishing Museum (Aveiro): located at the Infant D. Pedro Park, this museum brings together a rich and varied collection in fauna. A visit is really advised to the lovers of this kind of art. Ovil’s Castro (Espinho): the technical and typological characteristics of the unburied remains at Ovil’s Castro are traditionally related to the 1st and 2nd centuries BC and they integrate the village in the Iron Age. Gafanhões House/ Morgado’s Farm House (São João da Madeira): this small palace belongs, since 1523, to the Côrte-Real family and it’s classified as a National Monument. Here you can find a service that organises cocktails and receptions, in an atmosphere where you are able to breed the history of a very old and influent family, in the Portuguese aristocracy context. Ovar’s Mother-Church (Ovar): the actual building, completely covered with tiles since 1927, dates from the last quarter of the 16th century and has been suffering successive improvements. It has three naves, divided by two arcades with five spans, two chapels and six altars. It’s richly carved in gold and the front has two huge towers, a high door, the patron’s saint niche and two choir windows. Jardim dos Campos - Garden of Fields (Ovar): it looks like a large rectangle, with a central corridor, bounded by arched structures. Different species of roses and creeping plants, in relation with grass-plot spaces, result in a colouring and luxuriant whole.
