Description
The group of Cooperativa dos Pedreiros [Bricklayers Cooperative] includes the Miradouro tower (1969) and an old industrial complex (1937) with a series of buildings articulated in several levels, for the transformation of granite. In its height, the building – one that changed the city’s skyline during the 1960s –, includes housing, commerce, the cooperative headquarters, hotel and restaurant. Visit the auditorium and the museum of the industrial complex of the great builder of Porto’s modernity and the spaces of the tower, with an impressive panoramic view.
