Dedicated to the memory of the resistance to the dictatorship, the struggle for freedom and democracy in Portugal, Museu do Aljube Resistência e Liberdade (Aljube Museum Resistance and Freedom) is a place of memory and education for human rights. Functioning both as a musealized site and a historical museum, Aljube Museum Resistance and Freedom intends to fill a gap in the Portuguese museological fabric; projecting the valorization of the memory of the struggle against the dictatorship in the construction of an enlightened and responsible citizenship and assuming the fight against the excusing silencing, and often accomplice, of the dictatorial regime that ran the country between 1926 and 1974.
