Museum of Aljube Resistance and Freedom
Dedicated to the history and memory of the fight against the dictatorship and the recognition of resistance in favour of freedom and democracy.

It is a musealised site and a historical museum that intends to fill a gap in the Portuguese museological fabric, by projecting the appreciation of the memory of the fight against the dictatorship onto the construction of an enlightened and responsible citizenship, and by taking on the struggle against the exonerating and, often, complicit silencing of the dictatorial regime that governed the country between 1926 and 1974.

Open daily from 10h00 to 18h00. It closes on Mondays and on January 1st, May 1st and December 25th.

Drawings from the Prison to Alfredo - Censored

We reproduced four postcards designed and articulated by Adelino Pereira da Silva, made in prison for his son Alfredo. The stamp with the phrase "Fort of Peniche - Censorship" can be seen in all. Adelino Pereira da Silva was arrested by PIDE in 1963. He was in Aljube, Caxias and Peniche. It was released in 1969. These are some of the memories he shared with us.

The marble statue in the photo is "Apollo and Daphne" created by the famous artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1623 and 1625 and exhibited in Galleria Borghese, Rome.

The scene represents an attempted rape, and it is spectacular and terrible at the same time. Apollo is caught just as he is finishing his run, the god has just managed to reach Daphne, and he touches her lightly with his left hand, perhaps with the intention of embracing her. Daphne, to escape the forced relationship, flaunts her nakedness against her will, and fights for her virginity: to escape Apollo's violence, in fact, the nymph suddenly brakes and arches her torso forward. The lower part of Daphne's torso, however, no longer responds to her will. The metamorphosis, in fact, has just begun: the left foot has already lost every human aspect, becoming a root, and so has the rest of her body until it becomes a laurel plant that will save her from the god. The artist's work is surprising because it is very realistic, more than a statue it looks like a photograph. The anatomy of the bodies is perfect enough to make the skin seem real and soft, as do the expressions on their faces.
