Description
Today one of the Faculties of the University of Porto, this used to be the Fine Art School where architecture, painting, sculpture, and later Design and other artistic subjects were taught. A small palace that held the Aula Magna, the library, the museum and the administrative offices, the faculty is organized along a beautiful garden, with centennial trees, sculptures and a lake, where many of the teaching pavilions are located, all from different periods, languages and functions and all signed by renowned architects from Porto. The architecture pavilion maintains its designation from when it held the classrooms and auditorium for the teaching of architecture, a course today autonomous and installed somewhere else, at FAUP, in Campo Alegre. Besides this iconic space, we can visit the exhibition, techniques and drawing pavilions, or the south pavilion, the most recent, that has a new façade at Alegria Square.
