These images will be constantly reproduced by the projector during the visitation.
"The archaeological material was identified and collected during the archaeological monitoring that took place during the requalification work. This is because there is a legislation of heritage protection that provides for archaeological research before or during certain works - in the case of Eduardo Ribeiro, for being located in the perimeter of the Historic Center", he commented.
