Palácio da Bolsa

The Palácio da Bolsa was built in the middle of the 19th century by the Porto Commercial Association. In neoclassical style, this building reflects the commercial flourishing of the city of Porto. All the rooms on the noble floor offer details that prove the enormous sumptuary interest: in furniture, in chandeliers and above all in ceilings, some of valuable wood. However, all covered with a thin film of gold, the Arab hall is the room that best crowns the huge investment of the nineteenth century Porto bourgeoisie.
