The former Church of S. Julião
Did you know that the Money Museum was once a church? As you can see, not everything is what it seems! That is what happened here, from church to vault, from vault to museum!
The architectural project was transformed, by adapting the building to a new use, and thus it lingered on and resisted, where the past meets the present.
