Municipal Public Library of Porto
Municipal Public Library of Porto, Public library in Bonfim, Portugal
The Municipal Public Library of Porto contains a large collection of books, periodicals, and digital resources within its historical building near São Lázaro Garden.
Established in 1833 by King D. Pedro's decree, the library moved to its current location at the former Convent of Santo António da Cidade in 1842.
The library maintains extensive collections of Portuguese literature, including rare manuscripts from the Count of Azevedo's legacy received in 1877.
The library welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday, with extended hours from Tuesday to Friday, offering reading rooms and study spaces for public use.
Hispano-Moorish tiles from the Convent of Santa Clara were integrated into the library's architecture between 1929 and 1932, enhancing its interior design.
