A Architectura Portugueza: Revista mensal de arte architectural antiga e moderna was a monthly architecture magazine published in Lisbon from January 1908. Written by Portuguese architects and art writers, it documented both historic monuments and new buildings, and is one of the earliest Portuguese periodicals devoted entirely to architecture.
The magazine belonged to Eduardo A. Nunes Collares, who from 1909 also owned the construction weekly A Construcção Moderna. Under the modernised spelling A Arquitectura Portuguesa it continued for several decades; the issues from 1949–1951 (nos. 154–164) appeared as A Arquitectura Portuguesa, Cerâmica e Edificação Reunidas.
This database currently holds the issues from 1908 to 1914 and from 1949 to 1951. It should not be confused with the separate magazine Arquitectura, founded in Lisbon in 1927.

The scans were edited into PDF booklets (cropping, rotation and page corrections) by Ines Rulence, and published as flipbooks.
Issues of A Arquitectura Portuguesa published before 1956 (1908 to 1914 and 1949 to 1951) are considered to be in the public domain: under EU law (Directive 2006/116/EC) the journal as a collective work is in the public domain, as more than 70 years have elapsed since their publication. However, individually authored contributions may carry separate protection: texts, drawings and photographs by authors who died after 1955 may remain under copyright in the EU.
