Dr. Santos Rocha Municipal Museum (Figueira da Foz): this museum includes several pieces basically related to the archaeological discovery. Opened every day, except Mondays and national holidays, from 9 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., the museum shows several collections of religious sculpture, ceramics, glass, numismatics, indo-Portuguese art, African and Oriental collections. Carniçosas Dolmen (Figueira da Foz): the Carniçosas Dolmen consists on a gallery, 4,50 meters long, formed by two rows of flagstone and by a chamber limited by five flagstones that support each other. It is almost impossible to describe, so we suggest you go and see for yourself. Nossa Senhora da Conceição Chapel (Figueira da Foz): this chapel is remarkable especially for its artistic interior. The walls are covered with tiles and that, together with the carved altar and the interesting ornament of the pulpits, gives the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Chapel a really dazzling artistic matrix. Cantanhede´s Mother-Church (Cantanhede): probably founded on the 10th century, it shows today the result of the several changes it was submitted to. The sober exterior is marked by the Baroque portal and by the tower that is connected to the church on the north side. The main door of the temple has, on both sides, columns settled on cushioned foundations. The interior shows three naves divided by arcades supported by columns of the second half of the 16th century. It has a principal chapel, two collateral chapels and five more on the church’s body.
