From the First Edition of Open House Porto, an architectural initiative that is part of Open House Worldwide (Doors Open in Toronto is similar). 42 spaces around Porto, Vila Nova da Gaia, and Matosinhos are open to the public at specific times and the event offers guided tours either led by volunteers, architects or specialists.
This will have to be Part 1 of the visit to City Hall, because I have too many photos! Commentary will come in Part 2. For now, just pictures taken on our guided visit in July.
