Câmara Municipal de Almada

The Câmara Municipal de Almada is the city's administrative building located in a central position. It serves as the main hub where residents come to handle municipal matters and access government services.

The municipal authority of Almada began in 1190 when King Sancho I granted the first municipal charter to the region. This early charter established the foundation for local governance that has continued through the centuries.

This is where the annual Mostra de Teatro de Almada festival takes place each December, bringing theater performances to venues across the city. The event shapes the cultural life of the region and draws artists and audiences from beyond the local area.

Residents can use the Almada Mais Perto mobile app to request services and report issues around the city. This application makes it easier to communicate with the municipal administration directly.

The building received recognition from the University of Barcelona in 2007 for its work in public art and urban design. This award highlighted an innovative approach to shaping public spaces in the city.
