Museu Municipal


Proudly occupying what's alleged to be Europe's oldest pharmacy (dating to 1415, it operated until 1926), this multi-language, multimedia museum explores the region's history from Paleolithic times to modern day.

Among the highlights is a curiosity chest of mortars and pestles, ancient books and bottles of unguents linked to the medieval pharmacy.
