Description

Winding shapes, as if a white ribbon was wrapped around the “molhe” of Leixões. The new cruise terminal marks the sea front of Matosinhos with great architectural impact and a bold program: a new cruise dock, recreational marina, open air auditorium in the roof and also the Sea department of the University of Porto, with aquariums, in the submerged part. With a scale and shapes uncommon in a Portuguese context, the building is ready to receive batches of 2500 passengers and the Open House visitors.

Location

Avenida Norton de Matos – Portão junto ao molhe sul
