The Exiles Memorial Center (Portuguese: Espaço Memória dos Exílios) was located in Estoril, Portugal and housed a permanent exhibition of photographs, documentation and objects related to the history of refugees who stayed in the Cascais/Estoril area of Portugal during the period between 1936 and 1955. The Memorial Center, inaugurated in February 1999, was situated above the Estoril post office[1] in a building designed by Portuguese architect Adelino Nunes. The building opened in 1942.[2] The main objective of the Memorial Center was to "evoke the memory of one of the most important events in [Portugal's] history: to have represented a place of refuge, waiting and passage of thousands of exiles and refugees in the context of European conflicts"[3] most notably during World War II. The Memorial Center was open to the public until its closure on 24 April 2023 by the city council.[4] It is unknown at this time whether the closure will be permanent or whether the memorial space will be relocated.
