The Interactive Museum of Megalithism in the Alentejo village of Mora is completed and has its official opening date for this Thursday, September 15, at 18:00.
The work completely remodeled the former CP station in that Alentejo location and includes more than 100 megalithic pieces collected in the municipality and donated by other municipalities and a whole technology that will allow interactivity with the visitor, namely 3D films, holograms and interactive showcases that will make you go back in time.
For Luís Simão, the president of the Morense city council, the new museum will “increase the influx of visitors to Mora, who, along with the Fluviário, will spend more time in our municipality, benefiting the local economy”.
The museum has a collection that represents the oldest periods of the Neolithic, ie, around 6500 years, when the first farming communities were developing and establishing themselves in the interior of Alentejo. The estate extends to the Visigoth period.
This work involves an investment of 2,5 million euros, with 85% reimbursed by community funds.
The municipality of Mora became internationally known through the work carried out by V. Correia in Pavia, in the first decades of the XNUMXth century.
Its importance has become very relevant in recent decades, with the identification of a set of monuments that are unique in the Iberian Peninsula, such as the Alignment and Necropolis of Monte da Têra (Pavia) or the Megalithic Cruciform of Alto da Cruz (Brotas) , the latter was the subject of a report by “National Geographic” magazine in 2013, as it is a unique case, in addition to presenting a great variety in its funerary monuments.
