Museu Municipal Casa do InfanteRibeira · MuseumsThe Museu Municipal Casa do Infante stands at Rua da Alfândega 10, 4050-029 Porto, in the Ribeira neighbourhood. Its name means Prince's House. It is a municipal museum in one of the oldest houses in Porto, which began as the city's customs house. In royal times it also served as a residence for Portugal's senior officials, and it would have been central to trade in and out of the city. Afonso IV had it built in 1325 to hold the royal warehouse and customs services, and it has been modified many times since. Merchandise arriving from overseas, especially from Venice and Northern Europe, was stored here. Coin-making came to the site decades after the customs house was built. King Fernando I installed the royal mint around 1370, and it produced Porto's coinage from 1370 until 1721. In 1387, João I married Philippa of Lancaster at the building. She was the daughter of John of Gaunt and the granddaughter of Edward III of England. The house takes its name from Prince Henry the Navigator, who orchestrated Portugal's voyages of discovery in West Africa and is described as one of the forerunners of those discoveries. According to tradition, he was born on the premises in 1394, the fifth son of João I and Filipa. In 1894, a stone was placed at the entrance to mark the royal birth, five centuries after it happened. The building was classified as a national monument in 1924 and has been renovated since. Today the building offers several services. Besides the museum, it holds the Municipal Historical Archive, a thematic library about Porto, a Memory Room, an exhibition room and an auditorium. It also serves as the headquarters of the Porto Historical Archive. Archaeological digs here have brought up old merchandise, coins, pottery and 17th-century pipes, along with a Roman mosaic floor. The medieval building can be visited, and Roman mosaics and other traces of the Romans in Porto can still be seen. The displays include an exhibition of tiles and another about the building and its passage through time since Roman days. There are also a model of the building and a model of medieval Porto. The museum opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:30 and is closed on public holidays. For enquiries, call 222 060 400 or write to casadoinfante@cm-porto.pt.
