Description
A more than 100 years old club, in an historical building of huge dimensions and striking architecture, finally reveals itself. And there are many stories to hear. Founded by liberal republicans, free men with good customs from both sides of the Atlantic, projected by a commissioned architect, financed by the first bond loan launched in Portugal. A stage for great shows, it was here that António Pedro established the Teatro Experimental do Porto [Porto Experimental Theatre]. Centre of debates on important ideas with striking speakers like Óscar Lopes, Miguel Torga, António Macedo, and house for artists and their works, Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, Almada Negreiros, Teixeira Lopes, amongst others. This was a place of big parties and one-off cultural manifestations with great maestros and choirs, and also of great tournaments of the noble art of billiards. A thousand and one stories, to find out during Open House Porto.
