Houses in the iconic Casa dos Bicos (constructed in 1523, and certainly different from any other tiled building in the city), the José Saramago Foundation will be a wonder to anyone who’s a fan of his writing. The permanent exhibit delves into the workings of Saramago’s daily life and a visit is worth it just for that, but the foundation also hosts various lectures, performances, and more.
