Reitoria da Universidade do Porto, University headquarters and museum in Praca de Gomes Teixeira, Portugal

The Reitoria building contains administration offices, several museums, and a central courtyard within its neoclassical architectural structure in Porto's historic center.

The building construction started in 1807 under Carlos Amarante's design for the Royal Academy of Navy and Commerce, later transforming through multiple renovations.

The Natural History and Science Museum, established in 2015, houses collections spanning geology, paleontology, zoology, archaeology, ethnography, botany, and science.

The Reitoria provides administrative services and museum access at Praca de Gomes Teixeira, with regular exhibitions open to students and public visitors.

During the Porto siege of 1832-1833, the unfinished building served as a military hospital before becoming an educational institution.
