I love to share stories about unusual <\/span>monuments<\/span><\/a> and buildings in Porto, as I find that people benefit more from their trip if they go beyond what the touristic handouts say.<\/span>
There are many beautiful buildings in Porto to discover beyond the Cl\u00e9rigos tower<\/a> and <\/span>Casa da M\u00fasica<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> For instance, Did you know that Business Insider said Porto has the <\/span>most beautiful McDonald’s in the world<\/span><\/a>? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I picked a few of the most beautiful buildings in Porto. If their beauty doesn\u2019t capture your attention, then read about their history and how they contributed to shaping the city as we know it today. I promise you it is worth it to get to the end of the article \u263a<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the most beautiful buildings in Porto:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many <\/span>religious buildings in the city<\/span><\/a>, making it hard to resist the urge to write about them all. However, Serra do Pilar Monastery is one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto as it has a <\/span>great view over the city<\/span><\/a> and a rare circular shape.<\/span>
The monastery of the Order of Saint Augustine took many years to be constructed due to financial hardships. Portugal fell under Spanish rule, delaying the project even further, until 1672.<\/span>
During the Siege of Porto (1832-1833), the liberal army used the monastery as a military base. From there, they supplied support to their troops on the other side of the Douro river. This war period left the monastery in ruins. But a group called Amigos do Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar helped restore the monastery to the gem we see today.<\/span>
Visit what some call the \u201cWindow to Europe\u201d and see an example of post-renaissance in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to the capital Lisbon, Porto, the city of merchants, never had many lavish palaces. But there is one that people see as one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto, Pestana Pal\u00e1cio do Freixo<\/a>.<\/span>
Located in a breathtaking spot in front of the river, the palace houses one of the <\/span>best luxury hotels in Porto<\/span><\/a>. On the same property, there\u2019s an old cereal factory called F\u00e1brica Harmonia which is now part of the hotel.<\/span>
Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you can stop by for an afternoon tea or for a glass of Port \u2013 it\u2019s expensive but totally worth it.<\/span>
How to get there: Unfortunately Pal\u00e1cio do Freixo is rather far away from the city center, so to get there you should take a Taxi \/ Uber.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa<\/a> (1842)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa was built, the S\u00e3o Francisco convent existed in its place. But, during the Siege of Porto, the convent was badly burnt and only a small part survived. That part is the S\u00e3o Francisco church we see today. D. Maria II, the queen of Portugal at the time, donated the convent ruins to the merchants who built the neoclassical Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa.<\/span>
This 19th century palace is the property of Porto\u2019s Commercial Association. It used to be the <\/span>Stock Exchange Palace<\/span><\/a> when Porto had great financial success due to the Port wine trade industry.<\/span>
The Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa is one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto. It has remarkable features and must-visit rooms like the Golden Room and the famous Arabian Room. Nowadays, the palace is used for conferences and exhibitions.<\/span>
Even though Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa is one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto, we do not particularly enjoy the guided tours inside the building as they are not very informative and you are not allowed to ask many questions. Nonetheless, here are the prices to enter the building:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto and one of the most sentimental ones too.<\/span>
The property has had many interesting owners. First, it was owned by a French hat maker named Jean Pierre Salabert, who purchased it from the Order of Christ (1802). After the French invasions, the Portuguese crown confiscated the property.<\/span>
In 1895, Jo\u00e3o Henrique Andresen J\u00fanior bought the property. Andresen J\u00fanior was the son of a Port wine trader and the grandfather of the famous Portuguese poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.<\/span>
Sophia, whose poems are taught in school, referenced some of the house features in her work.<\/span>
In 1949, the state acquired the house. which is now hosting the Biodiversity Gallery and the <\/span>Botanical Garden<\/span><\/a>. We particularly love the Biodiversity Gallery, which we thoroughly recommend for <\/span>families with kids<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In <\/span>Matosinhos<\/span><\/a>, you\u2019ll find the House of Architecture. Some might not consider one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto because, from a distance, it looks like a normal house complex. However, the history and the rehabilitation efforts of this building are remarkable.<\/span>
The original building, which was a property of a wine company, is the first industrial building in Matosinhos (1897-1901). After the company went bankrupt in 1930, the property was abandoned. During the 50s, it became a shelter for those in the riverside who were displaced when the Porto – Leix\u00f5es docks were built.<\/span>
In 1975, it became an accommodation for people who returned from the ex-colonies in Africa. And in 2013, the property was classified as a building of public interest. <\/span>
Now it serves as the Portuguese Center of Architecture with some of the old ruins integrated. The center has exhibitions, events and even conferences.<\/span>

Walking in Rua de Jos\u00e9 Falc\u00e3o, you can\u2019t help but notice a building with a stunning neo-Islamic style fa\u00e7ade, a reminder of a time when Porto was one of the greatest tile producers in the region.<\/span>
This was a warehouse used for the storage and the display of Companhia de Cer\u00e2mica das Devesas\u2019 tiles. It had one of the best ceramic collections in the Iberian Peninsula.<\/span>
The building has a must-see exterior with door arches, geometric and golden details. It is unusual to see brown <\/span>azulejo tiles in Porto<\/span><\/a>, but that is one reason why this building is so captivating.<\/span>
The lower part of the building is now a restaurant called <\/span>Comme \u00c7a<\/span><\/a> (honestly it is not very good, don\u2019t waste your time going there!).<\/span>

In <\/span>Rua Santa Catarina<\/span><\/a>, you can find one of the most beautiful buildings in Porto made by architect <\/span>Jos\u00e9 Marques da Silva<\/span><\/a>, the man behind the <\/span>S\u00e3o Bento train station<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
Grandes Armaz\u00e9ns Nascimento was a furniture\/interior decoration store owned by the largest furniture company in the Iberian Peninsula. Inspired by the stunning department stores in Paris, Marques da Silva designed the building as a way to frame the product. Later on, the company\u2019s factory was destroyed in a fire (1934) and the owners were forced to sell it.<\/span>
Between 1940 and 1974, a luxurious coffee shop called Palladium was operating there. The owners made many changes to the original building, such as setting up a beautiful clock in the fa\u00e7ade.<\/span>
People can’t help but stop and gaze at the Palladium Galleries Clock when it rings. The clock displays important Porto figures like <\/span>S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Camilo Castelo Branco<\/span><\/a>. You can also enter the building which now has a FNAC (technology and culture store) and a C&A (clothing store).<\/span>
How to get there: Bolh\u00e3o subway station is a 3 minutes walking distance. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The architect behind this remarkable work is Pritzker winner <\/span>\u00c1lvaro Siza Vieira<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>
The faculty has different volumes; four towers facing the river and a longer building. In the latter building, you have hallways inside which are designed in a way that each side takes you to a different place. <\/span>
In this building, Siza Vieira used large marble tiles to pave the floor and cover part of the walls, giving the faculty a premium feel. The architect mixed concrete, wood and metal in a seamlessly way – something you can evidently see at the faculty\u2019s library. <\/span>
If you\u2019re curious about seeing this building in-person, go to the southern part first where the library is. You’ll also find the bookstore, a great place to shop for architecture books related to Porto.<\/span>
How to get there: take tram Line 1 until Bicalho. The faculty is an 8 minutes walking distance.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snail-looking building is one of the <\/span>best examples of contemporary works in Porto<\/span><\/a>. Besides the cruise terminal, it has the Science and Technology Park of the Sea and a restaurant. There is a stunning 340 m quay which allows bigger ships to deck with access for pedestrians.<\/span>
