Cadeia da Relação, Justice Museum in Porto, Portugal
The Court of Appeal building stands as a monumental granite structure near the Clérigos Tower, featuring symmetrical architecture and spacious corridors.
Constructed between 1765 and 1796 for 200 thousand réis, this building replaced the original courthouse that collapsed entirely in 1752.
The museum preserves judicial records and photographs documenting Portuguese legal history through exhibitions and permanent collections spanning several centuries.
The Portuguese Center of Photography, housed in the former prison cells, opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 with free admission for all visitors.
Each prison cell in the former detention area carried the name of a Catholic saint, including the one where writer Camilo Castelo Branco was detained.
