The Interpretive Centre of the Ansiães Castle (CICA) is a cultural structure of the Town Council of Carrazeda Ansiães where visitors can come into contact with the history of the county. Built on the ruins of a traditional house, the architectural project created an open, sunny place spread out over two floors exhibiting archaeological artifacts and museum display sustained over ten years of archaeological research carried out throughout the county, and particularly in the castle and walled town of Ansiães. The museum project presents the chronological sequence of the county’s historical events, focusing essentially on the castle and walled town of Ansiães, an archaeological site classified as a National Monument and whose history has evolved continuously from the Chalcolithic period (3rd millennium BC) until the end of the eighteenth century. The Interpretive Centre of the Ansiães Castle is located in the Historic Centre of the village as it is today, in Rua Capitão Lobo.
Location: Carrazeda de Ansiães
