History
Following the advice of the working group established by Minister Manuel Maria Carrilho, in 1996, the then Ministry of Culture created the Portuguese Center of Photography. Photographic culture had begun to be revived by the appearance of photography schools, festivals and galleries attracting photographers who were exiled during the Salazar regime, publishing internationally relevant work.
The building would only be occupied entirely by the CPF in 2001, after restoring and adaptation by the team of architects Eduardo Souto Moura and Humberto Vieira.
