Alenquer is known for being the «Vila Presépio de Portugal».
The famous Monumental Nativity Scene made its debut on the town's hillside, at Christmas 1968.
This creation served to immortalize the spirit of solidarity and love experienced by the community after the tragic floods of 1967.
This museum not only has a permanent exhibition but also a rotating one where it presents different examples of nativity scenes created by different artists.
