Casa do Infante, aka 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.

The house was originally built in the 14th century as customs and 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, in 1996.

While there, take the time to visit the Medieval Porto scale model, on show at Casa do Infante.
