• Casa do Sal (Salt House)

  • Traditional architecture building, old wine cellar in the center of the village of Castro Marim, has recently been adapted to receive a museum project on the salinicultura and environmental values that this activity ensures and promotes. Interpretive framework complemented with Félix saline, here are promoted visits to traditional exploitation of the salt in a process that resulted from an established protocol between the ICNF, IP and Castro Marim Municipality.
