Museu de Tapeçaria Guy Fino.

Housed in the former Castel-Branco residence, an 18th-century noble house, this museum is the definitive authority on the Portalegre tapestry—a unique weaving technique that transforms paintings into intricate textile art. The collection is split into two distinct parts: a technical wing that charts the history of the local manufactory and the evolution of the "Portalegre stitch," and a gallery showcasing the resulting masterpieces. Rather than simple patterns, these are large-scale woven reproductions of works by modernist masters like Almada Negreiros and Vieira da Silva. The precision is remarkable, often mimicking brushstrokes with thousands of varied thread shades. Visitors can watch the process unfold in real-time as weavers work on massive manual looms, maintaining a painstaking craft that remains virtually unchanged since the 1940s.
