Visit to Leixoes Cruise Terminal by Luis Pedro Silva

Walk through Marginal de Matosinhos by Souto de Moura

Insight into Casa da Arquitectura and the Real VinIcola complex

Leça da Palmeira, a freguesia within the municipality of Matosinhos just north of Porto, offers a remarkable blend of architectural heritage and coastal beauty. This district, formerly known as Bouças until 1909, showcases significant works by renowned architects, most notably Álvaro Siza. Among his celebrated creations are the Leça Swimming Pools, completed in 1966, a masterpiece seamlessly integrated into the natural rocky coastline, and the Boa-Nova Tea House, built between 1959 and 1963, where traditional Portuguese elements merge with modern design principles. During this guided architectural tour, you will also discover the Leixões Cruise Terminal by Luís Pedro Silva, an innovative and sculptural port complex that has redefined the local waterfront with its bold contemporary form. Nearby, the Marginal de Matosinhos by Souto de Moura, inaugurated in 2002, introduces a modern and functional promenade that enhances both urban life and seaside experience.
