Casa do Infante
Tradition has it that Porto's fabled hometown boy, Prince Henry the Navigator, was born in this house -- now appropriately called the House of the Prince -- which dates from the 1300s. In the 1800s, the building was used as a Customs house. Today it contains a Museu Histórico, with documents, manuscripts, and various archives relating to the history of Porto.
