Centro de Interpretação Ambiental da Pedra do Sal (Interpretive Centre)
With an exhibition hall, an auditorium or outdoor amphitheatre, the Casemates - Casas do Holofote e do Gerador (Houses of the Searchlight and of the Generator) that were built in the last century, and a coffee shop with 300 square meters, this centre attracts thousands of visitors.
Designed to promote values such as the biophysical diversity and the scenic richness, near the Avencas Marine Protected Area (AMPA), this interpretive environmental centre (CIAPS) has unique characteristics of a biological, geological and geophysical, point of view.
Space of excellence, with natural beauty and very modern architectural traits, the CIAPS has been chosen to host a number of initiatives and was considered the first public "Zero Energy Building" at national level, translating into the progressive reduction of the "ecological footprint" of this building and making it self-sufficient in terms of energy.
