Casa da Câmara, Historic municipal building in Cedofeita, Portugal.

The Casa da Câmara features three floors connected by stairs, with exposed concrete walls and a combination of Gothic architectural elements.

Between 1439 and 1443, the municipal council commissioned carpenter Gonçalo Domingues to construct a new stone tower and house for city administration.

The inscription on the front facade, 'ANTIGA MUI NOBRE SEMPRE LEAL E INVICTA CIDADE DO PORTO', represents the city's historical status.

Following renovations completed in 2002, the building now functions as a tourism information center, providing services to visitors in Porto.

The structure underwent transformation from a wooden building near Sé Cathedral to its current form, surviving a significant fire in 1875.

Location: Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória
