Congress gala dinner

The gala dinner of the 26th International EVSSAR congress will take place at the Palácio da Bolsa, on Friday 4th July from 8pm until late

The Palácio da Bolsa, headquarters and property of Associação Comercial do Porto, is a neoclassical style building, whose construction started on the 6th October 1842, the day where the first stone was put to place, due to the closure of the stock exchange that obliged the Porto traders to discuss their business on open air. Building work followed the plans of Porto architect Joaquim da Costa Lima Júnior. With a mixture of architectonical styles, the building presents in all its splendour traces of the eighteenth century neoclassical style, Tuscany architecture, as well as, English Neo-Palladian style, inspired by previous structures built in the city. Most of the palace was finished by 1850, but the decoration of the interior was only completed in 1910 and involved several different artists.

The Palácio da Bolsa has been classified as a National Monument since 1982.
