Madeira Military Museum
Housed within the fortress of São Lourenço, in the Palace of São Lourenço, which is centrally located in the middle of Madeira's capital, the main objective of the Military Museum of Madeira is to inform and sensitize visitors to the important role that the region played as part of the history of the Portuguese military.
This Museum occupies three rooms of the ancient fortress and has a collection of old artillery pieces in bronze and a collection of light weapons. The exhibits are richly illustrated with imagery representative of the history of the Portuguese Army in Madeira.
