A
Centro Português de Fotografia
On the south side of Cordoaria is a stately yet muscular building (1796) that once served as a prison and now houses the Centro Português de Fotografia. Multiple exhibitions feature the works of talented photographers from across the globe. Note that the rather gloomy lanes south of the museum were once part of Porto’s judiaria (Jewish quarter).

Museu da Cidade Edifício Chiado
This sunlit confection of rippling, coiling iron opened in 1910 as Coimbra’s largest commercial emporium. It now houses a gallery with a permanent collection of paintings, sculpture, ceramics, furniture and splendid silverware donated by local collector José Carlos Telo de Morais, plus temporary exhibitions.

Mãe d’água
The king laid the aqueduct’s final stone at Mãe d’Água, the city’s massive, 5500-cu-metre main reservoir. Completed in 1834, the reservoir’s cool, echoing chamber (check out the start of the narrow aqueduct passage) now hosts art exhibitions.
