Centro de Apoio Social de Runa

The Centro de Apoio Social de Runa, located in Runa, Portugal, is a historic residence for retired military personnel, originally established in 1827 as a military hospital by Princess Maria Francisca Benedita. Over the years, it has undergone several name changes, reflecting its evolving role from a hospital to a veteran's residence. Today, visitors can explore the princess's former apartment, which has been transformed into a museum showcasing paintings, ecclesiastical items, and personal effects, although it is open by special arrangement rather than regular hours.
