Museu de Mértola - Núcleo de Arte Islâmica

The Islamic Art Center opened in 2001 and represents the culmination of many years of work not only in archaeological interventions but also in the treatment and study of materials from the Islamic period. The collection, dating from the 9th to 13th centuries, comprises architectural elements, funerary epigraphy, ceramics, metals (copper and copper alloys, iron, and lead), worked bone (including artifacts directly related to weaving and glass objects).
