Stavanger Museum
Date Added: 29th Dec 2012
Site Type: Museum
Country: Norway
Visited: Yes on 29th May 2012
Stavanger Museum submitted by attlebax on 29th May 2012. Exhibit in Stavanger museum. It's well worth the 10 minute walk from the harbour if you stop at Stavanger in a cruise ship. The museum is very modern and although small is packed with a multitude of artifacts. And the staff all speak excellent English. Nice cafe.

Walkways over the top with a hole cut in so you can look down, not much to see though. Entrance very narrow impossible to get right into chamber.

Log Text: Easy enough to find but watch out. Closed 25/12/2013 - 01/01/2014 despite all the information saying that it was only closed on Christmas Day. I arrived and found an A4 piece of paper on the entrance with this information. Apparently it is always closed on a Monday.

Log Text: Cerro da Vila is sited in Vilamoura on the Algarve, just down the road from the main post office. It is mainly a Roman site but is probably resting on an earlier settlement. It is the subject of proper archaeological investigation and the whole site is being extended gradually. It is part of a museum which is open on nearly every day of the year, the cost of entry is 3 Euro for an adult. Discount for Seniors and students.
The ruins are quite extensive and you can see mosaic floors, pools and walls. As it is still under a 'dig' the staff are on site all the time. Well worth the 3 Euro.

Log Text: An outcrop of which seems to be the site for graffiti over a long period of time. Some cup type marks but of dubious origin. Some unusual markings and symbols. No doubt it has been attracting visitors all this time. Hard to tell what is old and what is new. A giveaway is when people put the date on them.
Great views from it though.

Log Text: Free entry. Parking outside. Next door to the fish market. Designed for tourists. The building is not large but they have managed to squeeze a lot in. It gives a taste of the last 6000 years of the area.
Open every day except Mondays.
The staff say that the exhibit is scheduled to be available until May 2023.
