Description
Located at Passos Manuel Street, this building rose from the Sociedade Nova Euterpe, and on August 29th 1869 became of the union of associations and groups of small industrial, commercial and traveling clerks from Porto. In 1885, the union moves to the current building. Culture, education, instruction and playground are words inscribed on the staircase that guides us to the impressive noble hall. This is a private institution that has as aim to promote cultural and ludic activities, establishing a space that cements relationships between associates, like old British clubs. The club was a meeting point of public and political influence, refuge of Portuguese writer and politician Almeida Garrett and the place where the First Republic was proclaimed in Porto. Between dance and talking, the club is the faithful holder of artistic and literary works, with upmost historical importance for the city and the country.
