This is an old police station - named traditionally "Posto dos Banhos" - which is now part of Brigada Fiscal da Guarda Nacional Republicana. This brigade is in charge of surveillance of the Portuguese Borders and economic and commercial crime.
The station is located in the historical heart of Porto - an UNESCO heritage site - and very close to the Douro river bank. Actually, it supports the police boats operating in the river.
Type: Sub-Station (not always manned)

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
