Casa dos Crivos

Casa dos Crivos, or the Residence of the Crivos, is a remarkable Renaissance-era building located in Braga, Portugal. Constructed in the 17th century, this unique structure features a distinctive wood-lattice facade, characteristic of late Renaissance architecture. Originally part of the bustling Rua de São Marcos, it was repurposed in 1980 to house the History Museum of Braga. Visitors can explore its three floors, which include exhibition spaces and an auditorium, all while appreciating the building's historical significance and architectural beauty. The residence not only reflects the conservative values of its time but also showcases the restoration efforts that have preserved its charm for future generations.
