Casa do Infante, House of Prince, Alfândega Velha, Old Customshouse, birthplace of Prince Henry the Navigator, Porto, Portugal

---

The Casa do Infante (House of the Prince), or alternately as the Alfândega Velha (Old Customshouse), is a historical house in the civil parish of Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória, in the municipality of Porto, in northern Portugal. The house was originally built in the 14th century as customs and mint, although its present condition derives mostly from a remodelling carried out in the 17th century. Its name derived from an oral tradition that suggested the house was the birthplace of Prince Henry the Navigator in 1394. The Casa do Infante is located in the historical centre of Porto, designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO
