MUSEUMS | 07. CASA DO CARETO

Here you'll find a record of the carnival tradition of the village of Podence, associated with the Caretos, represented in canvases by painters Graça Morais and Balbina Mendes and photographs by António Pinto and Francisco Salgueiro.
On display are the costumes, rattles, masks and all the clothing of these seductive and enigmatic figures, as well as the only beings that the Caretos respect in their stumbling, shouting and rattling on Carnival Sunday and Tuesday, the marafonas.
