The built heritage can be observed in the architecture and the seafaring district planning, in the maritime fa\u00e7ade of the port too, but mostly it can be contemplated in the Museum of the Sea. This building, at the end of the promenade, recalls an ancient defensive fortress with a circular plant, located in the port that was demolished in 1945 to allow the stretching of the enormous nets used by the fishing boats and for take the stone and use it to construct the dock. In 1997 it was rebuilt on the current place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Maritime Museum has two collections: one ethnographic with a sample of old fishing gear and tackle; and other malacological, with a choice of seashells from around the world.<\/p>\n

Part of the intangible heritage is complicated in videos released by the Council: \u201cXentes do mar\u201d (Seafaring People), \u201cLendas de mar\u201d (Sea Legends), \u201cMulleres do mar\u201d (Seafarer Women) or \u201cTesouros Vivos do Mar\u201d (Alive Sea Treasures).<\/p>\n

The Interpretation Centre can be visited on weekends and holidays (Feb \u2013 Dec):<\/p>\n
