• Natural Museum of Electricity

  • The Natural Electricity Museum, located in the centennial "Central da Senhora do Desterro", the first of four dams created on the bed of Alva river, intends to promote technological, natural and cultural heritage associated with it. The Natural Museum of Electricity takes us on a voyage to 1907, when its construction began. This Central allowed the electrification of Seia (in 1909) and of an important part of the territories on the base of Estrela mountain.
