About
Olive-growing and the production of olive oil have had a prominent place in the town of Campo Maior since ancient times. In this context, the Lagar-Museu do Palácio Visconde d'Olivã is a space that illustrates one of the oldest technologies linked to agriculture, a dominant activity in Campo Maior's economy until the mid-20th century. Structured to function as a single space, the museum nevertheless has different areas. Starting at the centre, where an olive oil mill and all its workings are recreated, visitors also have access to a multimedia room, an ethnography area and temporary exhibitions.
