In a state of complete ruin in the mid-twentieth century, the monastery of Santo António de Lisboa in Montemor-o-Novo concealed in its vaults, before its architectural reconstruction, a unique pottery collection in the national panorama of the sixteenth century. For its specificity and quantity, this collection of the Archeology Museum of Montemor-o-Novo is a unique example for the understanding of its historical context, not only for the representativeness of the pieces as utilitarian objects but also for their reuse as an element of architectural construction.
