"
Palácio da Bolsa"
The Porto Commercial Association started the building of the “Palácio da Bolsa”, its headquarters, in 1842. In the course of three generations, many masters and artisans worked towards the setting-up of this architecture jewel of the 19th Century, built in neo-classical style.
Great names in the field of architecture, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts contributed to this unique heritage. Classified as a National Monument, the “Palácio da Bolsa”, one of the main symbols and attractions of the city and the region, receives over 200.000 visitors every year. A true reception centre of the region, it is here that most of the State’s Official Receptions in the North of Portugal are held. It has been visited by Government Officials and Dignitaries from almost every country in the world.
The Palace is a lively and active space, open to the community, thus ensuring the continuity of the purposes and reasons behind its building: to be a meeting point, a reception hall where views are exchanged, business is promoted, events are held, opinion is formed or where one simply
socializes.
