The Portuguese Photography Center is located in Porto's old prison and nowadays houses a large part of the country's photographic heritage. During the visit, you can find old national and international instant cameras that are over 100 years old.

It was created in 1997 and is currently one of the most important photographic preservation centers in Portugal.

The old prison

The building dates back to the 18th century and served as the city's court of law and prison. Furthermore, it housed prisoners until the 70s, when the dictator António de Oliveira Salazar was defeated after April 25, 74.

Nowadays, the prison building allows visitors to have various experiences, as it intersperses its temporary and permanent exhibitions with different cells and even former punishment rooms for prisoners.
