Located in the old prison, a must see historic building. The permanent collection and regular exhibitions are very interesting

An ancient prision transformed in the Portuguese Center of photography. From the history of the building, to its permanent or temporary exhibitions, there is a lot to find out here! If you're a fan of photography I'm sure you'll like it!
