The Portimão Museum is a permanent observatory and a cultural mediation structure to research, preserve, interpret, disseminate and enhance the most relevant material and immaterial testimonies of the history, heritage, territory, memory and identity of the local and regional community, in its interaction with the world.
Since ancient times, the processes of transformation and conservation of the rich fish stocks of its waters through salt have been ongoing, and later, in the 20th century, an important fishing and canning industry occupied the banks of the Arade.
In 1996, the need to preserve this entire historical relationship led to the acquisition by the Municipality of Portimão of the old “São Francisco” fish canning factory, located on the city’s riverfront.
This renovated factory building, dating from the end of the 19th century, was the site of the construction of the original fish canning factory. XIX, the Portimão Museum was created on May 17, 2008, a center for cultural dissemination and a space for discovering the origins and evolution of the community, its territory and the most striking aspects of its industrial and maritime history.

Beautiful museum in a former sardine factory in the port of Portimão.
The entrance fee is €3 per person, and you can learn a lot about the old sardine canning industry and the origins, development and work in the port.
