On the west side of the Largo da Feira, in the former Bishop's Palace (rebuilt in the late 16th C.) and in the church of Sao Joao, is the Museu Nacional de Machado de Castro, named after the Coimbra-born sculptor Machado de Castro (1736-1828) and containing Roman material from excavations, medieval sarcophaguses, Romanesque and Gothic sculpture in stone and wood, goldsmiths' work, furniture, tapestries, porcelain, paintings of the 16th-18th C. (including some notable Flemish pictures), a special section devoted to work by modern Portuguese painters and a department of religious art.

From the double loggia in the beautiful courtyard there is a very fine view of the town.
