Carmen Miranda Museum

Carmen Miranda

Douro

Not everyone knows that Carmen Miranda, the icon of Brazilian culture, was actually born in Marco de Canaveses and remained a Portuguese citizen throughout her life.

Those who leave always leave behind a memory, maintaining ties to those who stay—which is why Marco de Canaveses has dedicated a museum to her.

Shall we discover the incredible journey of the “Little Notable”, from Marco to Hollywood?
