2 stars if you don’t speak Portuguese (4 stars if you do, I guess.) I appreciate that the court is preserved so well and free and open to the public, but there’s little context/information provided (and even less in English.) There’s no direction/signs, I literally got lost in the building which is still used as offices (I think, I was pretty confused the whole time there.) I do believe it has huge potential of becoming a great and informative museum but more needs to be done (this feedback is coming from my love for museums.)
