Maderia - view the 17th Century Frederico de Freitas Museum
The Frederico de Freitas Museum is housed in the magnificent 17th century home of the Counts of Calcada. During the 1940s Frederico de Fretias was a lawyer on the island and a collector of sculptures, paintings, furniture and ceramics. What is unusual is the way in which the exhibitions are displayed, in cabinets as if it were a person’s home. The museum is closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays.
