About

The National Museum of Resistance and Freedom, located in Peniche, is a place of memory that recalls the period of dictatorship in Portugal and the role of political prisoners during this dark period in the country's history. Located in a former military fort dating back to the 16th century, this museum offers an immersive and educational experience, taking visitors on a journey that addresses themes such as resistance, repression and the fight for freedom.

By exploring its permanent and temporary exhibitions, visitors have the opportunity to learn about testimonies, objects and documents that tell the stories of those who were persecuted and imprisoned by the authoritarian regime. It also stands out for its unique architecture and seafront location, providing an environment conducive to reflection and learning.

In addition, the National Museum of Resistance and Freedom promotes cultural activities, lectures and events to stimulate debate and reflection on democratic values and human rights. With a dedicated team committed to preserving historical memory, the museum plays a crucial role in preserving history and promoting civic and democratic awareness.
