Eco-Museu Marinha da Troncalhada
The Eco-Museu Marinha da Troncalhada is a short walk outside the center of
Aveiro. Moliceiro boat tours also normally pass by these impressive salt pans, if you don't feel like the walk.
Salt production has been an important industry in the area since Roman times. The free museum, with information in both Portuguese and English, charts the history of salt in Aveiro.
Visitors can observe restored salt pans and enter the historic processing center. Here you can see traditional tools of the trade and information on the salt workers.
