Exiles Memorial Center, Historical museum and archive at Estoril Post Office, Portugal.
The Exiles Memorial Center occupies the upper floor of the 1942 modernist post office building designed by architect Adelino Nunes.
Between 1936 and 1955, the Cascais-Estoril area provided shelter for thousands of refugees fleeing European conflicts and Nazi persecution.
The permanent exhibition displays photographs, documents, and objects that tell the stories of artists, writers, and chess players who found refuge.
The center offers free admission and includes specialized library services, an auditorium, and complete accessibility features for visitors with disabilities.
The collection contains thousands of refugee files from local hotels, documenting the presence of exiles including Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg.
