Museu do Côa Interior - C&D Contextualização Geográfica + Cultural e Santuário Arcaico / Riding Portugal

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog :-)
And with this article, I conclude this pleasant visit to the Côa Museum, and in these rooms identified as C&D Geographical and Cultural Contextualization and Archaic Sanctuary, a change in tone is already noticeable. The space is longer and narrower, with exposed gray cement walls and a floor of the same material, but more worn. It doesn't have the total darkness of the first rooms here, but no natural light enters either. The lighting comes from spotlights that leave the rest of the space somewhat dark.

E com este artigo, termino esta agradável visita ao museu do Côa, e nestas salas identificadas como C&D Contextualização Geográfica + Cultural e Santuário Arcaico já se nota uma mudança de tom. O espaço é mais comprido e estreito, com paredes de cimento cinzento a vista e o chão do mesmo material, mas mais gasto. Não há aqui aquela escuridão total das primeiras salas, mas também não entra luz natural nenhuma. A iluminação vem de focos pontuais que deixam o resto espaço assim meio às escuras.








Right at the beginning there is a large replica of a stone slab inside a "Penascosa 3" wooden structure full of crossed lines, quite visible, but which at first glance would easily go unnoticed, but looking more closely it is possible to identify the shapes of the animals engraved in the stone. At another point, a display case with various stones and stone tools with which they very possibly carved the engravings on the cave walls.

Logo no início está uma réplica grande de uma laje de pedra dentro de uma estrutura de madeira "Penascosa 3" cheia de traços cruzados, bem visíveis, mas que à primeira vista passariam facilmente despercebidos, mas olhando com mais atenção é possível identificar as formas dos animais gravados na pedra. Num outro ponto uma vitrine com várias pedras e ferramentas feitas de pedra com as quais muito possivelmente esculpiam as gravuras nas paredes das grutas.








Further ahead, against a dark background, a large figure appears, made of blue light. It's a contour drawing, with overlapping lines in the body area, forming something resembling a human or animal figure with horns. It immediately draws attention because it's isolated and the background is completely black.

Mais à frente, num fundo escuro, aparece uma figura grande feita a luz azul. É um desenho de contorno, com traços sobrepostos na zona do corpo, que forma algo parecido com uma figura humana ou animal com chifres. Chama logo a atenção porque está isolada e o fundo é completamente preto.








The rest of the photos represent some of the external access spaces to the different rooms, as well as a small souvenir shop located right in front of the reception desk. The cement walls are high and smooth, with some loose white designs here and there. The floor reflects some of the light coming from the side corridors.
And with this article I say goodbye to Vila Nova de Foz Côa, with the intention of returning :)

O resto das fotos representam alguns dos espaços exteriores de acesso às diferentes salas, assim como uma pequena loja de recordações que fica mesmo em frente ao balcão da recepção. As paredes de cimento são altas e lisas, com alguns desenhos brancos soltos aqui e ali. O chão reflete um pouco a luz que vem dos corredores laterais.
E com este artigo despeço-me de Vila Nova de Foz Côa, com a intenção de voltar :)
I hope you enjoyed.
See you around.
Wishing you much peace and health
