Casa da Música is the first building built in Portugal dedicated exclusively to public presentations of different types of music, as well as spaces for rehearsing orchestras and other resident and visiting groups.

Its construction is linked to the candidacy of Porto as European Capital of Culture in 1997, and its construction was announced in 1998. The project tender process was too short, which reduced the participation of 7 to 3 architects. In July 1999, Rem Koolhaas' project was accepted, and in December the project was delivered. In April 2005 the inaugural concert takes place.

This building does not leave anyone indifferent, all the solutions used here are out of the ordinary, and its architecture is already an experience in itself, being an adventure for our senses to walk through the various interior spaces, and also observe them from the outside. I consider your visit mandatory.
