Centro Interpretativo do Tapete de Arraiolos

For an in-depth history of the intricate weavings produced in and around this community, visit the Centro Interpretativo do Tapete de Arraiolos. Set in an old hospital facing Praça do Município, the small museum displays rugs produced from the 17th to the 21st centuries. Occasionally a local weaver lets you see the process close up.
