Museum of Archeology and Ethnography of the District of Setúbal

Good little museum, explaining that Homo Sapiens have lived in the area for millennia.

Entrance is free! A fantastic place to be face-to-face with ancient artifacts. You can see and run your fingers in the grooves of stone menirs from the Neolithic times and marble tombstones from Roman era (one tombstone of a 9-year-old roman slave girl, translated to "May the Earth Be Light On You"). Lots of artifacts from the ancient history of the Setúbal area, going back to the Stone Age, Neolithic, Copper, Bronze, Iron...Roman, Moors, .etc. I found the roman fine dinner ware and glasses interesting, hard to imagine how they made such intricate things. The other half of the museum shows the fishing and cannery industrial of Setúbal. Very quiet museum with hardly anyone. About a two-hour visit.

Nice little museum.
