Oporto - House of the Prince / Historical Archives

(Local Name: Caso do Infante) Until a few years ago it was considered very doubtful whether the Casa do Infante, or its predecessor (in the Rua Alfândega Velha, below the Praça do Infante Dom Henrique) actually is the site of the house where Henry the Navigator was born. During investigations made in 1992 traces of 15th C. works were discovered together with some from the Roman era, under the foundations. Today it houses the city archives.
