The National Museum of Ancient Art, housed in a 17th century Palace built for the first Count of Alvor in the Estrela area in Lisbon is without any doubt one of the nicest museums in the capital city for both Art lovers and those who aren't, once it impacts them both almost similarly.
The nucleus of the Museum's permanent collection consists of religious Art though it also includes a large one of Portuguese paintings from the 14th to the 19th century, a significant number of paintings from German, Flemish and Spanish masters, non- European Art, Chinese ceramics and a few more worth seeing collections.
Among the most outstanding are the 1470 polyptic oil painted pannels considered a masterpiece attributed to Nuno Gonçalves depicting the Adoration of Saint Vincen of Saragossa, patron Saint of Lisboa, where many of the prominent dignateries of that epoch can be identified.
