Opened on 2 April 1996 and run by the Matosinhos City Council, the Quinta de Santiago Museum’s mission is to preserve and promote the historical heritage of Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira through art. The building, dating from the late 19th century, was designed by the Italian architect Nicola Bigaglia as the residence of the Santiago de Carvalho e Sousa family, and today stands as an important witness to the urban and social transformations of the region. Since 2009, the site has comprised three areas: the Museum, the Espaço Irene Vilar and the Casa do Bosque, surrounded by extensive gardens.
