Casa de Mundo Rural de Prados
The Casa do Mundo Rural de Prados, intends to portray a time when agriculture, associated with pastoralism were the main economic activities of the population, thus practicing a self - subsistence economy.
This museum nucleus also recreates a period when the facilities inside a house were practically non-existent, recalling the experiences of older people, showing generations what it would be like to live in a house where there was no running water, electricity or a house bath.
Castelo de Celorico da Beira
The Castle of Celorico, whose foundation dates back to the 12th / 13th centuries, is typologically classified as a Romanesque-Gothic castle. It has two entrances, one on the west and one on the east; two cubicles attached to the south side of the wall, one with an irregular square shape and the other with an irregular trapezoidal shape and originally had a Keep in the center of the defensive stronghold, the remains of which, however, have not yet reached our days.
Thus, the Tower that remains today should be later and later than another located in the center of the square. The chronology of occupation of this space is not unanimous among the various authors who have already written on the subject. Some of them say that, given the strategic value of the place, Celorico's first fortification would have been a proto-historic fort, which would later have been romanized.
The theory of the existence of an occupation prior to the Middle Ages period can be corroborated by the fact that there is a votive epigraph from the Roman era, dedicated to a pre-Roman deity.

The Clock Tower is located in the historic center of Celorico da Beira, next to Praça 5 de Outubro and close to the Church of Santa Maria.
