Just outside the city limits, beneath the overhang of the wall facing the Douro River, the museum appears to be like a time vault that preserves the memory of the city.

The museum is a cube-shaped stone with a set of skylights of the same cross-section, which define the different spaces thanks to their diverse positioning, height, and orientation. The museum is organized as a tour through the remains of history; a tour which takes a Celtiberian votive tombstone exhibited in the museum, as its formal reference.
