Casa do Infante

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:40:12

Just back from the river is this handsomely renovated medieval town house where, according to legend, Henry the Navigator was born in 1394. The building later served as Porto’s first customs house. Today it houses three floors of exhibits. In 2002 the complex was excavated, revealing Roman foundations and some remarkable mosaics – all of which are now on display.
