Salt Museum in Figueira da Foz

Preserving local salt heritage, promoting sustainability, and offering unique experiences in Figueira da Foz.

The Salt Museum was inaugurated in 2007 in Figueira da Foz. At the core of this museum is the interpretation, the valuing and the promotion of a century-old connection between local population and the salt ponds of Figueira da Foz.

This is simultaneously an information and education centre targeting at different audiences for the need to preserve a traditional activity and a non-industrial product, contributing for a sustainable local development.

The Salt Museum offers its visitors unique experiences, as well as detailed information on 5 major themes: definition of salt; salt in nature; the history of salt in Portugal; the salt technology in Figueira da Foz and the production cycle and the salt ponds and nature conservation.
