Historical Significance of the Museum Building
The Anjos Teixeira Museum is housed in a building that dates back to the early 20th century. Originally built for a mill, the building was later transformed into a stone sawmill before being acquired by the Sintra City Council for a municipal vehicle depot. In 1976, the building was refurbished and reopened as a museum, providing a unique setting for the display of the Teixeira's artistic works.
