Housed in the severe 17th-century Episcopal Seminary, Guarda's main museum showcases an eclectic collection of archaeological finds, artworks and early books. Exhibits range from prehistoric flints to illustrated 16th-century tomes and contemporary Portuguese paintings.

In the adjacent 18th-century courtyard, the handsome Paço da Cultura stages temporary art exhibitions.
