Museums and Palaces

Opened in 2007, it is a space for unveiling the traditions related to the masks of the Northeast Transmontano and the Region of Zamora (partnership between the Municipality of Bragança and the Diputación of Zamora). Throughout the three floors of the building, visitors can be in touch with a multiplicity of celebrations, characters and rituals, where masks have a leading role.

Besides being in direct contact with the characters represented by the 47 cateros (wearers of traditional masks) as shown here, the visitors will experience different festivities that take place in some villages during the winter. This is accomplished through as exhibition of photographs and artefacts, combined with the sound of traditional music.
