AÇUDE MUSEUM


This "dog" guards the former house of Raymundo Ottoni de Castro Maya, now the Açude Museum, in Alto da Boa Vista. Castro Maya was an industrialist, a fosterer of the arts and an art collector. Although the museum is closed for renovations, you can visit its gardens with beautiful Portuguese  tiles and porcelains, as well as artistic installations.
