City Hall
Monuments
Construction began in 1920, but only in 1957 was it considered complete, after several interruptions and changes to the original project.
The building consists of six floors, a basement and two courtyards.
The top of the 70m high, central tower, with its chiming clock, can be reached by climbing its 180 steps.
Consisting primarily of marble and granite, the interior of the building has some nobly furnished rooms, in which the most solemn ceremonies and the usual Municipal Assemblies and Executive meetings are held.
Included in the Urban Wine Route, the Porto Municipality used from the outset the income from rates and taxes on wine to improve the city´s defences, water supply, road connections to the outside and urban reforms.
