Art Culture and Religion


PORTUGAL PLEASE! intends to provide an important part of the Cultural information of each locality, making the connection to the City of Vila Nova de Famalicão, so that it is aware of all its information.

Land of knowledge and culture, Vila Nova de Famalicão is also the land of writer Camilo Castelo Branco. It was in S. Miguel de Seide that the novelist wrote some of the most beautiful pages of Portuguese literature, and that is where his memoirs are kept in the house-museum of Camilo, a pole of reference for Portuguese culture.

But Famalicão is also a land of the present and, above all, of the future, standing out for the dynamism of its cultural policy, namely through the contemporary programming of Casa das Artes. In this way, Famalicão takes on Culture as a pole of tourist attraction.

But it also bets on the preservation and enhancement of the historical and cultural heritage, which, in addition to Casa de Camilo, are examples of the Surrealism Studies Center, the Bernardino Machado Museum, the Textile Industry Museum and the Lousado Railway Museum.

The patrimonial wealth of Vila Nova de Famalicão is also revealed through the rare and beautiful examples of Romanesque art, of which the churches of Santa Eulália of the Monastery of Arnoso, church of the Monastery of Landim and church of S. Tiago de Antas are the exponent maximum.
