Casa da Ribeira is an evocative space of memories of Viseu. The presence of the old mills on the river Pavia and the olive oil mill allow the visitor to remember the work of the washerwomen who dyed and dried the clothes near the mill dam.

The house also evokes the presence of boats on the Ribeira, which marked the life of the river and the community. In addition, it is a space dedicated to regional handicraft par excellence, where various crafts linked to the ancestral “industries” of the region are presented. Casa da Ribeira frequently hosts temporary exhibitions dedicated to ethnographic heritage.
