Casa Museo Belisario Porras, Birthplace museum in Las Tablas, Panama.

Casa Museo Belisario Porras is a colonial-style building facing Parque Belisario Porras in Las Tablas, with a wide central gate and eight tall columns arranged in pairs along a long, narrow front porch. A small entrance garden holds a bust of Dr. Belisario Porras. Inside, the collection includes his books, decorations, clothing, household utensils, an oil portrait by Juan Manuel Cedeño (1959), a cenotaph, and a desk and sofa from his country house, Finca El Pausílipo.

The house where Belisario Porras was born belonged to his maternal grandparents, Joaquín de Barahona Espino and Francisca De León Moscoso. In 1953 the Las Tablas municipal council declared the land and house indivisible, and Law 42 of that year made the site a National Historic Monument, ordering a palace that never materialized. Construction of the current building began in May 1956, and the museum opened on 15 January 1959.

The museum keeps Porras's decorations, clothing, books and household utensils, along with a wooden desk and sofa from Finca El Pausílipo, his country house in Las Tablas Abajo. A turned-wood and embossed-leather furniture set that he brought from Lima and donated to the Catedral Metropolitana de Panamá is also displayed.

The museum sits on Avenida Belisario Porras near the main square and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Visitors should check opening times in advance, and guided tours may be available with prior notice.

The house belonged to Porras's maternal grandparents, Joaquín de Barahona Espino and Francisca De León Moscoso, and it was there that the future president was born. The current building is not that house: it was begun in May 1956 after a planned memorial palace never materialised, and it opened as a museum on 15 January 1959.
