Porto is a city that stands out nationally and internationally for the beauty of its landscape, gastronomic diversity and historical importance, but also for the quality of its architecture. In this context, there is an initiative that promises to take you to see six modern buildings in the city: “Porto de Arquitetura”.
After the success of the first edition, which took place in 2024, the cycle of free visits is back, between March and July. In all, the initiative covers six buildings in the city of Porto, and an international conference is also planned, the date of which will be revealed later.

The initiative, organized jointly by Porto City Council and Casa da Arquitetura, will take place as follows:
