Centro Desportivo Nacional do Jamor
Centro Desportivo Nacional do Jamor, National sports center in Algés, Portugal
Description
Centro Desportivo Nacional do Jamor is a large sports complex in the Jamor Valley with a main stadium and numerous support facilities for different sports. The campus includes tennis courts, Olympic swimming pools, athletics tracks, football fields, and specialized training areas distributed across the grounds.
History
This complex opened in 1944 during the Estado Novo period, marking an ambitious sports initiative for its time. The architects Francisco Caldeira Cabral, Konrad Weisner, and Miguel Jacobetty Rosa designed the original structures that still form the core of the campus today.
Culture
This venue has served as a center for developing Portuguese sports talent and hosting major national competitions across multiple disciplines for generations. The space remains active with daily training and events that reflect the nation's sporting priorities.
Practical
The grounds are spread out, so allow time to explore the different sports facilities and areas. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since you will be on foot moving between the scattered facilities.
Did you know?
The main stadium features an unusual open design on its east side, departing from the closed oval shape typical of sports stadiums from that era. This asymmetrical structure gave the building an innovative appearance for the 1940s.
