Third day

On the third day, after breakfast we went to the school and after that we went to school.In the afternoon we went to the Museum Jose Malhoa. This Museum shows the greatest single nucleus of works by its patron and an important collection of paintings and sculpture from the 19th and 20th centuries, considered a museum of Portuguese Naturalism art. Classified as a building  of public interest since 2002, itself becoming a "museum piece", with an excellent location in the magnificent Park D. Carlos I in Caldas da Rainha.The José Malhoa Museum building was the first in Portugal projected as a museum.  This Museum has a unique meaning in the history of our culture, revealing itself a pioneer in Portuguese museology, both for the architectural concept and for the application of principles of conservation and adaptation to the collection of paintings and sculptures that it exhibits, becoming the definitive place in the cultural history of the speciality.This visit was really intresting.After dinner we went to the thermal hospital museum.It was really amazing place with increadible history.The history of this small place in the west, which only became a city in the year 1927, was irrevocably linked to this Monarch and to the thermal baths. These thermal springs were used for therapeutic treatment and are the oldest in the world. As a result, Caldas keeps their flag and the coat of arms of Queen D. Leonor, which is a rare case since it’s said it goes against the Portuguese heraldry.The history of this small place in the west, which only became a city in the year 1927, was irrevocably linked to this Monarch and to the thermal baths.
